sick days at the ice box

so yesterday morning i spend 3 1/2 hours in the emergency room with a fever of 102 (i usually hang out around 96 or 97 so thats real high for me), a relentless cough, headache, etc
turns out i have a real bad case of the flu
thankfully its not h1n1, but im feelin pretty low
my fever keeps bouncing between 99.8 and 101.5
im basically bed ridden
the doctor said no school or work for 10 days
work has been really REALLY understanding which has been such a blessing
i sent out emails to my professors today about it; lets hope theyre as understanding about it

amidst all this feeling-like-crap, i have rediscovered that i have amazing friends (not that i ever forgot, but man have they stepped up their game!)
when i got home yesterday afternoon from the ER, jamie had a plate of toast and oranges and some water for me with my bed all turned down for me to collapse into. she then went to the store and got me all the essentials; extra strength tylenol, gatorade, chicken soup, and saltines
shes amazing
really she is
ALSO
today as i was getting ready for my parents to pick me up tomorrow (theyre fantastic and are driving up to come get me so i can be sick and feeling awful with them and not get my roommates sick!) katie stone and fred sprinkle (gosh i love his name!) came by and dropped off some homemade chicken soup and cookies for me!
THEN
lina came by and dropped off some more chicken soup, a card, and notes from Bible study!
seriously
amazing friends
and all throughout the day i kept getting get well messages from ppl
goodness
if i ever doubted that im loved, heres proof that i am.
so thanks to everyone who sent good thoughts or some get well soon prayers
i really appreciate you!!!
