99 Degrees

99 degrees. When your body temperature matches the outside temperature. 

Is this my dip? Is the the nadir the nurses told me about? 

For days I was feeling fine. Then the indigestion yesterday, like something out of a torture film. 

And the headache today, more like a migraine where moving makes the room spin. 

And the body aches, like a flu where all my muscles and joints hurt, but without the fever. 

I stayed in bed all day. I hardly ate today. I spoke with the doctor who told me this is perfectly normal. This is my low point and it may stick around for me for a couple of days. 

So I need to just get comfy with an ice pack and keep resting. 

See you on the other side.
