sick sick sickety sick

As ya’ll know, last week my recurring neck injury flared up, meaning I had to quit running for a week.

I ran yesterday.  For .5 miles, then I got light-headed and stopped. I thought it was just because I tried this before breakfast.

Now I just think I’m sick.  I ended up sleeping 5 hours mid-day yesterday, and then last night I slept a good 12 hours and I’m tired again.  I’m very dizzy and slightly shaky, though I’m not constantly sweating like I was yesterday- I’m more cold than hot.  I’m not really feverish, 96.7.  I’ll have to re-check that today.

I’m also coughing a lot.

But nothing wants to stay still.  I already have a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday.  I’d really like to get back into running but I imagine being dizzy and running as a bad combination.  The dogs really need to go for a walk but that, too, I can not do. I may do some treadmill training with them today - that involves me sitting down and giving them treats for going on the treadmill.  Of course Elka is already thus trained - it’s just Milton.

I have a lot to do: I badly need to clean, I need to walk the dogs and they both need furminating.  I’d like to do some garage organization as well.  But as long as I’m dizzy and shaky I’ll be doing z) none of the above.

This doesn’t feel like the flu, I wonder what I managed to get this time.
