H1N1 Type A Flu: Thursday, Day 4

Today was the first day I slept through the night and well past my normal, pathetic wake-up time of 4:55 a.m. I opened my eyes at 7:10, but didn't really move until 8:30. My headache seemed worse, but my fever has yo-yo'd between normal and 37.5º C (99.5º F) and the body aches and fatigue are gone. According to the doctor, I have to be fever-free for two days before I can go back to work. I also have to go back to the doctor to get paperwork saying I can go back to work before my school will let me go back to work! Needless to say, I hope the fever breaks soon, as the clinic is closed on Sunday and I really need to get back to work.

Kaoru will go back to work tomorrow. We were worried that she was coming down with this, as she's been toying with a similar fever, so we went to our usual clinic this afternoon (which was inexplicably closed on Monday when I had to go in), and tested negative (as did I), but Kaoru doesn't have any of the other symptoms.

I feel like I'm on the mend, but I need the fever (and this damn headache) to go away.
