Update

Still sick, now featuring a fever. Temperature is now 103.1 (I'm usually 97.1, so that's not great.) Now my back has started hurting too, so every coughing fit has a fun side of OMG!pain.

And I'm stuck in Frostburg since I can't do the three hour drive home and have any assurance of making it in one piece. I have no meds or food or a Doctor to visit.

It took me 20 minutes to type this post.

Poor thing. Hope it passes quickly and you can get home to rest.

Poor honey. *Hugs* Sounds like the flu. Hope you recover as quickly as possible.

Oh sweetie, I wish I was closer so I could come get you.

103 is really high for an adult, and you've had this for a few days. You need to get to a doctor, even if it's a 24 hour emergency medical place or it's the emergency room. Unfortunately, I know the back pain too well. If the pain starts around your spine and wraps around your body, you pulled a rib. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do on your own about it other than to take some pain meds - tylenol, advil.

Are you in a hotel? Maybe you could call the deskclerk and he could help track down an urgent care facility and a cab for you? If you're determined to stick it out, prop yourself up on the bed or a comfy chair and try to sleep sitting up. Lying down aggevates everything about a cough.

Oh, that's high. Poor baby. Urgent care around there? Just don't let it go too long, k?

I second (third, whatever) the concern, and the sense that, with that kind of fever, you need to see a medical person. Emergency room if there are no other options.
