sick

I will not be posting for awhile. I am very sick--fever, cough, headache, chills, etc. Praise the Lord, I am not throwing up! I heard that this is a fever that can linger for 5 days. I've been through two acute fever days. Two down, three to go? We had a new hot water heater and water softener installed today, so there was no running water from 2:30 until about 7:30 or 8. That was interesting. I kept my hands clean by dousing them with rubbing alcohol. Hope it worked. If anybody out there reads this, please, please pray that the rest of my family will be spared.
