Cake, I'm only saying any of this as you asked, so its your fault
Now that I am better, I can finally confess to being ill. For the last 5 days I have been subjected to so many wonderful friends who were worried about me and constantly checking up and fussing over me. I love all of you. Thank you.
I have been persuaded that I probably had proper flu. I was unable to even lift my head off the pillow at one point, and my arms are covered with bruises where I kept falling over and walking into walls when trying to get some water from the bathroom. No way that I was safe enough to make it down the stairs to the kitchen.
But I'm ok now. Just a bit bunged up and headachy. I think the headache is mainly from spending so much time in bed that it has caused all my back and neck muscles to go into spasm.
