West Nile Virus

Ok I got it. I came down with the first symptoms two weeks ago. It's not fun. It's not as bad a being bitten by a black widow ( I've done that too) but it's no walk in the park. In fact most days I barely have had enough energy to walk. The first week I slept most of the time, or threw up, or whined about my poor muscle aches. The second week hasn't been to bad except sleeping for ten minutes then waking up for twenty then sleeping for ten more every night. My brain is starting to get a little mushy. My appetite has come back after not wanting to eat the first week and losing 10 pounds. And most of my aches and pains are gone or minimal. But I still am terribly weak. I trimmed some garlic this morning and now feel like I've been run over by a truck, but I'm going a bit stir crazy and want to do something besides lay there.

Axel and Scott have been taking care of the fields and weeding carrotts. Their almost done so now I need to get well so we can start on planting garlic. But thank god for those guys.
