Day + 98, My First Fever

Since yesterday, I've been feeling miserable -- but it a different way than I have been previously. It all started yesterday morning, when I woke up with a crusted and itchy right-eye. Fearing that I may have gotten conjunctivitis, I've been taking caution not to rub it, and putting a hot towel on it on occasion.

Then last night, I started to feel warm and run-down. I took my temperature to discover that I was running a very slight fever (99° F). Otherwise, my mind was sharp and I was feeling okay.

This morning it seemed like my right eye was calming down, but I still feel run down, and my temperature hasn't changed. It's apparent that I'm fighting something, which is actually a good sign as it is an indication that my new immune system is working. The danger is that my system could be still too immature to handle whatever it is fighting, so I need to constantly check for a high fever.

The Rx: Take it easy today, and check for any changes.
