Day 26 - Down and Out

I opened my eyes, and quickly realized I was not feeling much better. I felt like I had a fever, but as I am usually not sick and a bad patient, and did not have much confidence in my own assessment. I tried to head over to Rockledge for breakfast, but soon decided I was better off resting. I went upstairs and laid down on a bed overlooking the river and was in and out of sleep for the entire day until about five o'clock. Somewhere in there Kerry took my temperature and it came in at 102. No sooner had the bug set in, my fever broke and around five, I decided I felt well enough to crawl out of bed and walk down to the dock. I gradually improved over the next day or so, as the illness passed to Erin Clare and Kerry the next night.
