NFC no shows :( by Swandog
For those expecting to meet us at NFC, I'm very sorry to say that we couldn't make it there. ;_; We drove several hours, got halfway there, and Sayh (who was already sick, but had felt well enough to drive) came down with really bad fever and chills, and was feeling rather faint, so we had to stay the night at a hotel, and then turn around and go home the next day (today). We barely made it home before he got faint and dizzy again. (And no, I don't drive, or else I would have.) We had both been looking forward to NFC for many months...so many people we wanted to see there, and I was going to have a booth, and wear my new Luna mask that Savicorn made me, and Sayh was going to debut Jasper and wear Panduck, and meet up again with two old friends (the GoHs) he hadn't seen in like 15 years. And it sucks to lose the money spent on the con/hotel too, but that's the least of it. :P Needless to say, we are both rather depressed over this, but we did try our best to make it, which I guess is better than not trying at all (at least we now *know* it wasn't possible). :( So sorry, guys, but Sayh's health comes first, and I just want him to rest now and get better. Hopefully we can meet you all again there next year.

Thanks, sweety (and to everyone else for the well-wishes also!)...Should we call the doc if he has fever every day (for several days in a row), or is that nothing to worry about?
-
How high is his fever? For the flu, it's not unusual to have a fever up to 39+°C for several days until the body destroys the virus; it's part of the natural immune defence and not dangerous in itself. Just make sure he drinks plenty of water! You can also offer him an antipyretic NSAID or painkiller such as Ibuprofen/Aspirin/Paracetamol to reduce the fever; just follow the dosage guide on the bottle. A painkiller would also help with muscle or joint pain, which is a frequent symptom of the flu.
I had a bout of the flu myself this winter; my fever went up to 39.8°C and lasted 5 days all total. It would probably have gone on 1-2 additional days except I got tired of being sick and dampened it with paracetamol. I also notice Sayh made a comment on a Facebook entry of mine earlier today; as a medical professional, I take that as a sign of him not being in any immediate danger. ;) I hope he'll be feeling better soon! Feel free to poke me here/on Facebook/via the phone if you think he's getting worse and would like an informal medical evaluation.

Thanks so much, hon...he seems to be doing a bit better now; the fever has gone down, and he just has a headache that won't go away. He's been drinking and resting a lot, and is almost back to eating normally, but is still feeling very drained, and a bit dizzy at times.
