After the years of migraines/endo cramps o'doom, a low-grade fever is as nothing to me.
This. It raised the bar pretty damned high.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

One of the Most Magical things about having a lover
You misspelled HUSBAND.
I dunno - my threshold for sympathy is much lower than my threshold for "a big deal." There's plenty of low-grade bugs that can make you feel like crap without being a big enough deal to call a doctor for.
I think since she worked as a nurse, she got so inured to stuff that was bad enough to land people in the hospital that anything less didn't ping her radar.
Me, I'm always willing to dish out the sympathy, even for a splinter.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I own a thermometer. It's somewhere around here. I can't remember the last time I had enough fever to need one.

~ma to Tom and Nora! (I'm really excited for you guys. NOLA always sounded so... like a place I need to visit some day. So).

Lover sounded more French?
I am sympathetic! I have sympathy coming out of my bottom! It's just...limited to 5 minutes and practicality. I am an excellent nurse; I bring hot tea and tuck blankets and make soup.
But I also yank the stitches without compunction. Gently. But they have to come out, yo.

For fun times? Read The Stand while wracked with a severe fever from a flu you caught from everyone else you know. Good times, good times.

Tom and Nora, you will find it! You JUST MOVED. Everything is topsy-turvy. But you will love it.

Time for you to go exploring in New Orleans, Nora. Get out of the house tomorrow, pick a neighborhood and get a good lunch.

Yeah, the weather's supposed to be nicer tomorrow. Ooh, the sun's out now! That's exciting, haven't seen that since Friday.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
How much sympathy? Cause I'm willing to "Tough break," a paper cut, but I won't drop everything to kiss it better, or anything. My mother was absolutely determined that we wouldn't baby ourselves like my dad. But she missed some times that we were really sick...it's hard to tell Wonder Woman you don't feel right though.
