Much better, thank you Marge. The last fever attack I had was early yesterday morning in the hospital, which is now 44 hours in the past.

Well, I was floating in space in absolute delirium most of the time while my body was going through 93 - 105 degrees temperatures, if that counts.

Was it American Werewolf in London or Howling that tipped the scales?
