In which I might have a case of dengue fever...

Which would make two WMF Brasil staff members down with the same mosquito-borne disease in the same week, which is no small coincidence...

Of course, it could also just be a really nasty 24-hour flu. I should know by tomorrow morning.

Regardless, I'm running a gleeful fever that makes me shake with cold in the summer heat, feel like I've been run over by a garbage truck, and am so tired I actually fell asleep while talking to Rich today. He was standing in the doorway and said something to me...and I found myself answering in a dream!

In other news, I am covered with bruises again. I'm tempted to put some photos up, because it really looks like someone took a midget baseball bat to my legs. And for the life of me, I can't remember bumping into anything...which is not a good sign either way you look at it. Either my short-term memory is shot or I've got a pixie that's beating me up in the middle of the night. Not good.

I think I'm slightly hallucinatory, which is fun! I'll give an update tomorrow.

hope you feel better soon with the flu/dengue thing. hmm, about those bruises... have you noticed any other symptoms? you said your iron was low - did they do other blood tests? maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to see a doctor soon and specifically mention the bruising. either way, bonne guerrison! we're praying for you

so i have weird bruises, too. but as lumps on the back of my head-- warm, sometimes pounding lumps and i don't know what their from. maybe someone is abusing me at night, too. i should read your blog more often because reading that you probably don't have dengue fever means that you thought you did (as i just read) and that means i am just a tad behind on people's lives. love you sweetie! praying that you are healthy soon.
