monster headache

I've still got a monster headache I've had since Thursday night. Along with the feeling that an elephant's been stomping on my head constantly for nearly four days, I've been suffering fevers where I'm absolutely drenched with sweat (seriously, it looks like I stepped into the shower with my clothes on), then half an hour later I'm shivering cold with chattering teeth. I managed to make it through all five classes yesterday but was close to blacking out in two of them, so I'm going to the doctor later today. IceQueen was worried it might be viral meningitis since I have all the symptoms other than throwing up, and it got bad enough last night that she rang 911 and they sent some EMS people around. They checked me out a bit, but didn't even bother taking my temperature, and kept asking if I take drugs and seemed to be inferring I was in withdrawal or something - they seemed very pessimistic that I was actually really sick. They said they'd take me to hospital if I really wanted, but said the wait time was like 6 hours or more in the emergency rooms and nowhere to lay down and suggested I go see a doctor the next day if I'm not better. Since I already had set an appointment with my doctor for later this afternoon, I stayed put.

Our printer died in the weekend so IceQueen got a new one which is all up and running, thanks sweetness. Ice has been looking after me and made soup which is great - that's pretty much all I've been able to eat for a few days. Oh, and I won a tshirt from surf.co.nz for a story I wrote ages ago, thanks guys! Oh yeah, Urban Scrawl received its 100,000th visitor about half an hour ago!
