Sick

Well I'm sick..........
Yesterday I went out to work with Bambi and about an hour after working with her, I started feeling really strange. I started getting extremely weak and dizzy and my slight headache was getting worse. I decided it was probably a good idea to head home. Well I had to take off all of Bambi's gear, her saddle, bridle and put everything in the tack room and also put her up..I wasn't sure I could carry the saddle the whole way because I was so weak, so I left it on her and walked her to her stall which was right a cross from the tack room. I was so proud of her because she's never had the saddle on her in any environment other than the arena and I was scared she'd get nervous and freak out. So I put her away and got into the car. To add to everything, it was SNOWING!!! In APRIL!!! It was snowing so hard down in Creswell that it felt like I was in the mountains, and the roads were slippery even. So that was probably the most interesting driv e I've been on.
I make it home safely and tell Justin I feel funny and I was extremely cold. I took a really hot shower, but that didn't get ride of my chills so I sat down on the couch and covered myself with 3 blankets. I couldn't stop shivering and my muscles wouldn't relax, they just remained tight and I was so uncomfortable. I also had a little bit of a sore throat.
That night when we went to bed, Justin made me take my temperature and I was at 101.3!!! No wonder I was having problems!! It was about 11:30pm, but I had to call my mommy..she help me feel better and gave me some tips to feel better! I had hot and cold spells all throughout the night... and I woke up about 6:00...it was awful.
When I woke up this morning my headache was better, but my throat was worse and I felt really nauseous... a few hours later I felt a lot better and my temp went down to 99.4 and I thought woo hoo I'm getting better!! Then about an hour later I got really cold again and starting feeling awful muscle aches and pains and another head ache. We took my temp again and it is no at 101.5!! So I'm sick...and it's no fun!!

Today I got the saddle on Bambi!! She did great and wasn't really worried about it. She also never bucked once!I'm beginning to think that that's just not her thing. At least I hope not, because when I get on her I do not want her to be bucking!! Anyways, It was a great day at the barn and I got a lot accomplished! I can't wait to hop on!
