I was super excited when I found out about helping lead 5 weeks of reaching out to Muslims with a couple that are really awesome (on my staff team at MSU) and their 7 month old daughter. I got to fly with a Bridges friend of mine from MSU who is also helping lead a project overseas this summer. So it was nice not having to travel alone. Usually I go to all these conferences and travel alone, but our plane tickets were paid for, so it didn't matter which airline I had miles with or whatever, but we picked the most convenient, but not too expensive flight.
It was a very encouraging weekend and I got a lot out of it, but the last day of the conference I woke up not feeling so great, and as I started my day, decided I needed more rest. By noon I had a fever. I had to skip the rest of the seminars and training sessions. What made it worse was knowing the next day of travel home started at 6am and ended at 7pm. :-(
Dayquil and Ibuprofen we my best friends.
After my third day of fever all day, I went to the doctor's and they said I didn't have flu or a sinus infection, but some kind of infection. So much for a day off. I spent all day sick! Thursday I still wasn't up for more than walking from my kitchen to my bedroom. By friday afternoon I finally felt like the fever was going. 5 DAYS! I haven't had a fever for 5 days in a LONG time. but everyone was getting sick. At the conference, of every group leading a trip, at least one of the members got sick. Even when I got back, it seemed this illness spread through many not just on our campus, but many of my friends across the country seemed to get this same or a similar illness. yuck. what a way to start the year
