Fever got to 105 last night so I went to the Instacare. They have no idea what the problem is so just gave me penicillin. Seems like I can control the fever with Motrin and just waited too long to take it yesterday. Friday night's race is now in doubt. I'm really bummed because I have been looking forward to this one for a few months.
Still no running. I think that I have an abscessed tooth. Fever is mostly gone but my mouth is incredibly uncomfortable. I have had very little to eat or drink since Saturday. How realistic is it to race on Friday night? I don't think I would be happy with running it just for the fun of it so may opt out of the race completely.
This month started out with such promise. Still no running and still no idea what is wrong with me. Went to the er last night and the best guess is that I probably have an ulcer as a result of taking too much Motrin for the mouth pain. Who knows? I just want to be able to eat and drink comfortably. Looking on the brightside, I have lost 11 pounds this week and am getting back to a weight that I am more comfortable with. Most of it is probably loss due to dehydration but I will try to keep off what I can.
