Don't come any closer

As it so happens, my dad thinks I have the swine flu. Why must they slap such a gross title on it? Why on earth would they choose the word SWINE? The flu in and of itself is not an appealing disease (but really, what disease is appealing)...

It all started with my already sore muscles getting more and more stiff.

Tonight was Brantley's 2nd birthday dinner, and I forced myself to go, even though I was feeling terrible! I didn't have a fever at the time, so I figured it was just all my knots reacting to the weather or something.

I started getting a low-grade fever toward the end of dinner, and by the time I was home I was crying from the pain. For a while I was really worried that I had Meningitis again. They feel very similar.

Can I just say how wonderful Brantley is? He asked his entire church to pray for me tonight. He is so thoughtful.

Now I'm wondering how long it'll be before I can be around people...

Finding people to work for me till i'm well might be tough.

I already miss several of my friends, and this dumb sickness insuring even more time till I get to see them again!

BLah.

I can't find my camera, so I haven't had the chance to take any pictures of my new room.

I'm going to bed!

Much love, and a big "OINK!" from the girl with Swine Flu
