Flu-Whew
Thursday we went shopping at Trader Joe's, came back with way more than we planned, sat down for some snacks and drinks and suddenly Jim says "I've never felt like this before." He was shaking, feverish, and a little later all the snacks came up. I'm wondering and worrying...should I call 911? He wasn't in pain but he sure was sick. Food poisoning, flu? I'm looking up symptoms on WebMD.
Friday was a bad day. He had a fever of 103, a bad back ache,and threw up again. We concluded this must be the flu and by evening he was a bit better. But the great snacker was only getting beef broth. Saturday he still had a fever in the morning but by late afternoon was better and drinking tea and broth. Still a really bad back and very dizzy. All he wanted to do was lie flat in the lounge chair. He didn't touch his computer for 2 days...now that's a sick man.
Today he's feeling way better, minor back pain, no fever and he looks better. His eyes are clear and he's walking more comfortably. I think he's on the mend. In fact, he just asked "what's for breakfast? Music to my ears :)
Lesson learned: when arriving at a new campground find out what to do in emergencies. Where is the nearest emergency room? Who is the campground contact? Usually that info is on the campground flyer. Have those numbers handy.
