*more gack, more sniffling*

[crowdog66]

I slept miserably last night -- kept waking up in pain and with feverish thoughts. Looks like I've got the flu rather than a cold. Lucky me.

More Neo Citran down the hatch, chased with a cop of strong coffee, and I'm feeling moderately human. But you should have seen the stuff that came out of my nose when I got up. Er... okay, maybe not, lol, but it was yellow and bloody and does not bode well for the state of affairs further up the sinus cavities.

On the positive side, I finally got a call back from Quagga, and am scheduled for a training shift on Saturday December 31st. I've also finished one page of Hardy Boys already today with relatively little mental pain and drama. Talked with my mom on the phone, and got the "you have diabetes now, if you have the flu you've GOT to be careful!" lecture. I honestly can't see where the great danger is, but if things don't shape up by Tuesday I guess I'll have to drag myself in to see a walk-in clinic doctor.

Tonight: the Full Moon ritual. Bleagh. Gahhh. And various other grunts and moaning sounds.

I know...it sounds silly, doesn't it? When an ordinary person gets a bug, it's no biggie, but when one has Diabetes ::cur dramatic music::, one must be Careful and take all sorts of precautions and such. What I was told was that when we who are diabetic come down with a cold or flu bug, it can make our blood sugar higher, which can lead to other complications, blah-di-blah-blah. Which is why we get the ten-cent lecture every time we so much as have a sniffle. (The other favourite lecture is the one about diabetic feet.)

I think the thing I hate the most aboue being diabetic is the sheer, unadulterated Fuss that seems to come with every aspect of what used to be very simple and uncomplicated matters in Life such as eating, sleeping, etc. It's not the testing or the insulin that gets to me...it's the Fussing. *gah!*[/mini-rant]

Here's hoping you feel better VERY soon, though. ::hugs::
