Home Alone - Sunday, September 27, 2009

For the first time in this trial, I missed church on a Sunday. I thought it best not to go out in the rain until there was a 24 hour break in the fever, assuring me the infection had cleared. Actually, the naturopath, my nurse friend, and my sister felt that way and I decided to listen to them. Unfortunately, although my temperature was normal in the morning, it rose to 99.4 degrees in the afternoon. Then it dropped to 98.8 later. By ten o’clock, however, it decreased to 98.2 degrees. Now, all I need is 24 hours of normal temperature in order to go back to work. I do not like missing work time at all, as you may have guessed. I am also a little "stir crazy" as I have not set foot outside my apartment since Friday afternoon and only then to throw out the trash.
