Last night was a rough one. I went to bed around 7 with a fever and chills. No matter what I did {heating pad, layered clothing, 4 blankets} I couldn’t get warm. I woke up about 30 times, tossing and turning. I was hot, then cold, then had to make a run for the bathroom.
Early this morning I passed out in the bathroom. Luckily I knew it was going to happen and was able to get low to the ground. The HH found me and then slowly walked me back to bed.
So I’m taking the day off. To sleep.
Let’s hope this is just a 24 hour thing because I feel awful. 🙁

Oh Mavis!!! I’m SO SORRY!! Please feel better soon! I got sick about a month ago, feeling similar. It helped to lay out in the sun, it was a way of warming me through my aching bones. Drink your tea, keep your fluids up, cuddle Lucy, and REST. We will all be waiting for you when you are better.
Signed,
Another Mavis Groupie

Sometimes summer sicknesses can be the worst. Take good care of yourself and if you symptoms don’t abate today go see your doctor.
Jean Ink says
Mavis – Please, please do a thorough tick check. If you find one, or if you’ve had a tick bite earlier this summer, don’t count on a bull’s-eye rash to be your clue. A lot of people don’t have that.
Hoping this is just a regular old flu – not Lyme disease, or any other serious thing. Hoping you feel much better quite soon!
Jean
Carol says
Jean, you are absolutely right! I didn’t even think of that.
Mavis, rest and know we will be here when this is all behind you!
Hugs to your HH for taking good care of you, too. 🙂
Dev says
Lyme is what came to my mind because your feeling sick., fever and fainting was exactly what happened when I had Lyme. Be sure to check because there are several nasty tick born diseases. I ended up with meningitis. Good luck and feel better.
Tracy says
Not that it is entirely impossible, but Mavis lives in Western Washington t and we do not have Ticks here. (That I know of) Unless she has been traveling then it could be that.
Rosaleen says
Yes, feel better soon AND consider Lyme disease if you don’t get better quickly. It is an elusive and tricky thing. As said earlier, many people never show the bulls’ eye rash but do have Lyme. I usually hear headache as one of the symptoms.
Chris M says
So sorry, Mavis! I wondered if you were traveling or something when nothing showed up this morning. Please get better!
Susan says
Hope you are feeling better soon 🙁

Deborah Herman says
Let’s just say out loud. you are not sick. Feel better soon.
Diane says
Take as much time as you need to REALLY feel better, Mavis! So sorry you’re going through this.
Tina B says
I hope you are back on your feet soon, Mavis. This sounds awful! I imagine you just want to be out playing in your garden rather than feeling miserable and sick. Take care, and we’ll “see you” when you are better.
Sandra says
So glad you realized the impending fainting spell, take it wasy and get well. Don’t forget about your chicken soup..
mlz says
Try oscillococcinum for flu and flu like symptoms. I take it at the first sign of feeling wonky and it works for me; that is it keeps me from developing full onset of flu symptoms.
Trudie L says
Aweeeeee…a day without Mavis is a day without sunshine.I sure hope you are better real soon! Rest up!
Kathy says
I said a prayer for you, Mavis. Just take care of yourself and get well.

Mavis Get well soon. Your health is #1 priority. Your family needs you and us “Mavis Groupies” will always be here when you return. Take care.
janet says
Mavis, I’m so sorry you’re sick! Get well soon.
charwelsh says
I absolutely agree with Rosaleen and Jean about being checked for Lyme’s. It’s nothing to fool around with. Luckily, (if u can call it luck?!), both times I had it, I had the bulls-eye. Argue with your doctor about getting tested if u need to – undetected Lyme’s can really mess u up.
Candice C. says
Will keep you in prayer. Get plenty of rest and don ‘t allow yourself to get dehydrated. Suck on ice chips if you can’t keep down fluids.
Kari says
Hoping for a quick recovery! Take it easy. Hopefully you have some chicken soup in your freezer and ginger tea in your cupboard!
Tracie H says
Oh no! I hope you already on the mend. I will say a prayer for you, and your family.
maryse says
So sorry to hear that! please take care of yourself and we’ll be here when you get back!

So sorry you’re feeling sick. It sounds like an especially awful bug. Take care and feel better soon!
Natalie T. says
Don’t worry about us. Rest, rest and more rest!
I wonder if it has anything to do with your switch back to “non-zombie-emergency-30-day-challenge” food, with your body’s systems going through an adjusting period.
Mrs. LC@LooseChangeLiving says
Get well soon!!
sharon says
feel better 🙂
Teresa says
Oh Mavis,
I wish I was there to smooth (smoof) your brow and get you cool drinks. That’s what my Mom used to do for us kids (5 of us) when we were sick. I did it for my kids too, now ages 31 and 30. It didn’t really do much but it was great moral support. I hope you’re better soon.
Dale says
Hope you feel better soon!
Alison R says
Feel better fast!!! Summer sickies are not fun at all!!
Helen in Meridian says
Hope you have a down blankie and a cashmere sweater to keep you warm, while you “chill” out in our lovely hot weather. Wow, you need to put a fainting couch in that big bathroom you remodeled. So sorry you got hit by something. At least you have 3 people and your pug to take care of you and cook and make tea for you. Maybe you are suffering from tea deficiency from last month. Get well, I miss your cheery overly optimistic way.
Debi says
Hope you feel better. Take care as we understand why you don’t or can’t blog. Your health is more important.
Heather H says
Praying for you Mavis. It’s hard to be sick in the summer. There are flu-ishh type sicknesses going around our area. 🙁 What a surprise you will have when you see the growth in your garden when you’re able to go out again! 🙂
Becky says
Feel better!
Susannah says
Oh, I’m so sorry to see you’re still not feeling well today. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hope you feel better soon. We really enjoy you blog.
mandy says
Hope you feel better real soon Mavis. I been dealing too with red ants from my garden. I had an allergic reaction so am still dealing with random hives. I think the worst of it is the prednizone they have me taking.. I makes you feel very strange. Hope all turns out well for you soon. And if you have any red ant tips, I would love to hear them.
