Wow, almost all this week (with the exception of Monday) I have been battling a cold. Actually, the cold started on Tuesday. I just now had to practically play secretary yet again and call a few people to tell them I am not going to be working Thursday and Friday. Played phone tag with two of them (actually, I had to leave voice mails on cell phones) one I was finally able to talk to. I really hate this time of year, and this is so not how I planned on ringing in the New Year... definetly not with a 99.2 temp that's for sure!

Sorry Ashley, hope you get feeling better soon.

At least you'll be able to brush it off when the new year hits and won't have to get that cold later on during 2010. Or, one day you can tell your kids, if you have any, that you where sick for two years lol Partially in 2009 and into 2010.

Get well soon. It always seems illness strikes me at the worst times too. 2010 will be a better year. Gotta look at the positives. Everything will get better..

Ah sorry about that Ash. I hope you get well soon and get a good start to the new year.
 
Thanks you guys. Just checked my temp a little bit ago. Steady at 99.2. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse than this.
 
You should try to get plenty of rest (if possible).
 
Have you gone to your doctor?
 
98.6 is average for an adult. So you are only a bit above. Just take it easy for a little bit.

Yep. That's all I've been doing all this week



@Tom: If I'm not better by Monday, I'll surely go in. Although I'll probably just be put on cold meds again...
 
You need to go now! Why are you waiting a whole five days?!

I don't have a ride, for starters, and usually we don't really worry about my temp unless it gets any higher than 99.2. if it was 99.9 or even 100 then it'd be something to worry about. But my appetite's been good, I'm not throwing up or anything, so there's nothing to worry about at the moment. Also, I have nebulizer treatments that I do when I get like this. So I do take care of myself when I get sick. So there's no worry there.
