It has been a week already since I wrote anything or was even on Steemit and it had nothing to do with the tanking crypto prices, I promise - but rather my tanked health! Glory it has been a rough week!!! One which I care not to experience again any time soon... I don't think anybody likes being ill, but I SERIOUSLY detest it, as I am not a person who handles "doing nothing" very well.
Last week Saturday, I attended my nephews 7th birthday family get together. Obviously I have no real way of knowing if that was where I picked up whatever I did... but as a mother, I know well that kids are the most efficient germ carrying factories on planet earth, lol.
It was the strangest thing actually, because when we got home that night we were having a chat on the couch and I became aware of all these ulcers developing on the back of my tongue. Out of nowhere and all of a sudden I was speaking like someone with a lisp because of it. I did not feel particularly chipper the following morning, but didn't think anything of it as we had only made it to bed at somewhere around 2.30am. but by Monday morning I started to realise that I was definitely not feeling myself and my energy levels had plummeted to zero.
It just deteriorated from there. The throat flared up like I have never experienced before, then I lost my voice, then the fever wiped me out completely and that was me for the rest of the week! Other than mustering up the energy to make a few tweets (X's or whatever people call them these days), I did absolutely nothing but sleep.
I am a little bit stubborn when it comes to seeing doctors and taking commercial medications - but by this stage I was absolutely desperate to get better. I suppose one interesting thing came out of it all... I actually had my first ever "online doctors appointment" which I have to say was not only a whole lot less painful than having to sit around a doctors waiting room forever and a day, surrounded by all sorts of other ill people with goodness knows what.
Sadly I gave in to precisely what I knew was coming my way and that was a course of antibiotics. I really do try my hardest to stay away from them and let my body do the fighting, but this time it was just too much! So I guess I have some "repair work" to do on my immunity now. Meh. Oh well, these things happen I guess...
I am however, REALLY grateful to be feeling human again and to be greeting you all with my morning cup of coffee... even if we are heading towards the end of the week already, lol.
Have a wonderful Thursday all x
❤❤❤
Until next time...
Much Love from Country Bumpkinland, South Africa xxx

You must have had a pretty rough week! But hey, at least you're feeling better now, right? Sometimes life throws such surprises, but the important thing is to stay strong and move forward. I'm glad you were able to get an online consultation and that the antibiotics helped. Now is the time to work on strengthening your immune system and ensure that you will be more prepared for future challenges. Keep up the coffee and the smiles my friend :)

It was rough @chater, lol - no lies! But thank you, I am indeed feeling a whole lot more like myself again... now I just need to shake this nagging cough, but that always seems to be the last to go, doesn't it!

I am glad to hear the anti-biotics helped and you are feeling better. Yes, antibiotics are not something we want to take regularly, but sometimes they are needed to help us get better.
Take care and keep well.

Yikes! So sorry to hear you had a rough week, but glad you're on the mend. Seems like a lot of folks are going through the wringer recently (both health wise and in the psychic sense); the world feels more out of balance than usual.
I haven't been around for about a week, myself... my energy levels just tanked although I thankfully escaped actual illness.

Thank you @denmarkguy <3 Feeling a lot more human again, thank goodness! I detest being ill!!!!
Yes, I have to say I have noticed the same - in fact more often than I care to acknowledge if I am honest...
Just came from your profile a little while ago, so saw that - understandably though... you have just made a huge change in your life and have a lot going on upstairs in the noggin no doubt :)

Thank you sweetheart @weisser-rabe :)
I am still coughing and full of the snotties, lol - but am feeling a lot better, though admittedly my energy levels are still not quite hundreds - and I ended up sharing the love with everyone in the house too... Jude went down badly too poor thing - and during the school holidays too..... :( :(
Hope you are well xxx
