Day 7 of my imprisonment.
\nIt began as a small fever, a sore throat. It grew to a 40\/104 fever hallucinating nightmare.This was in days one and two.
\nThen the vomiting began. nothing would go down – not even water. I had to go hospital for a drip, I was so dehydrated.
\nThe cough. ah, the cough. constant phlegm to grease my throat.
\nAnd now, my body is finally deciding to pass movements, and it feels like my @$$ is exploding.
\nThe fever and coughing are still consistent, mind you.
\nOdysseus, you got nothin’ on me.
\nAren’t you glad you read my blog today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
