SICK
Hi everyone, I just sat down at my computer for the first time in 3 days to tell you that yes, I am incredibly sick and haven’t had the chance to post any updates. I really apologize for this… I have so much to post from the last few days of the Olympics!
Sadly, I knew my body was getting sick about halfway through the Olympics but persisted with working full time and going to events, etc. The crazy thing is, I only drank 2 days of the 17 days and only stayed out late past midnight three times! I’ve been trying so hard to stay healthy. Still, it’s my own fault — I should have rested when my body told me to. Adrenaline got me through it but now that it’s gone, my body got really sick and I found out that I have pneumonia.
Unfortunately antibiotics is not an option for me from past reactions, so I’ve been spending entire days in bed and cannot seem to stop my coughing or fevers just yet. Not to mention some strange sharp lower back/joint paint that seems to be related to the virus. It hurts too much to sit even upright so not even watching TV or reading books are an option. It’s so sad! I’ve been stuck in bed with only my phone to have any sort of connection with the rest of the world. I am hoping that I get better soon.
Again, apologies for the lack of content this week… I hope to be healthy again soon and have more posts, contests, and photos soon. Sorry to complain so much! Thanks for understanding!

Geez Allie, you sure party hard, and get sick HARD.
Seriously though, get well soon, and for (expletive)’s sake, STAY IN BED AND REST UP! You have a past of getting back at it when you’re still unhealthy, so I hope there’s lots of stern tough-love-care for you.
I would add that I’d not blame having drinks out would be the ‘trigger’ – just being in contact/vicinity of so many people would mean being exposed to just about any & every illness out there. I got sick with a head cold the following day after being forced to ride on a crowded Canadaline (which had numerous coughing/hacking passengers. D’oh!) – and it’s quite hard for *me* to get sick in the first place.
So again, Allie. Please, PLEASE stay in bed, soups, your preferred choice of vitamins/herbs/etc, and get better soon!
…Don’t let me find out about you going snowboarding this weekend or something like that; we’ll come and BEAT you!

get well soon!

I feel for you mate. Just rest up and “get back on the horse” when it feels right. Everyone loves your posts and I’m pretty sure they have no troubles waiting for them!
Get well soon!

Sad to heard you. Relax, Recover, and you must be following by medicine. My dad had it few years ago & avoid the death… but he saw it.

So, sorry for you! Just take your rest… Hope you get better soon!

Feel better Allie pneumonia is nothing for anyone to mess around with i had it a couple of years ago i feel your pain because i cant take antibiotics either. Just try to keep covered and warm even when your fevers are making you too hot for clothes! Oh and fluids lots of fluids!

Brutal. So sorry this happened. Lots of positive energy being sent your way.

Lots ppl I know are sick, quite many of them have strep throat, probably from all the high fives. I have been under the weather as well, coughing a lot but I’m slowly recovering. Get better soon.

Sorry to hear you’re so sick. Are you Bacterial or Viral? Definitely take your time with this. Do you have “Prescription for Nutritional Healing”? Its a great resource…especially if you’re not able to take antibiotics.
It will be hard for you but you have to rest!

You’re human? Just kidding. Get well soon.

poor you. i am still coughing really badly not as “productive” now. I got so bored being at home all the time in bed or on the couch and it was so hard to sleep at night with all the coughing. It’s funny that people try to tell you, “oh drink lemon water” or “gargle with salt” – i’m sure you’re already doing that like i was! it would help somewhat but not really. it’s good that you’re at home resting b/c you won’t do any good for anyone if you are coming to work sick.
One thing i hated too was all the inactivity being sick. No exercise at all!
anyways i hope you are entertained some what by reading these comments. It really does suck being sick.

We’ll hear your news when you are well enough to post about it, until then no stress!!
Sending you healthy vibes from Australia!

Get well Allie! I’ll miss your exciting sports and travel blogs. You work hard and now you can get all the rest you need. I’ll be looking forward to your next posts. I’m sure they will be exciting

Thanks for all your kind words everyone! I’m totally overwhelmed by your kindness and well wishes
I decided today after not being able to stand it anymore that I went back to the doctor and told him I’ll do the antibiotics. *sigh* Well, fingers crossed!

Hey, take care of yourself and make sure you’re REALLY on the road to recovery before you get back at it. Can you say relapse? The joint pain thing is very familiar to me. That is the way I tell I am coming down with something. I bet it clears up as your health improves. Probably a result of old age! Ha, ha… I know; not funny.

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well Allie! Hopefully some rest is all your body needs to get better. It’s been a hectic few weeks for you by the looks of things, so the least you deserve is a proper break, even if the lack of activity is frustrating.
Here’s hoping you feel better soon. Best wishes from Ireland.
