I had a fever of 106, like you, but a few years earlier than you. I was in elementary school....6th grade... and I felt REALLY hot.

Turns out, it was a strep throat. I woke up sick on Christmas morning. I was prescribed penicillin.

Weeks went by and I was better, so one morning my mother drove me to school. This was on Long Island, NY.

My classroom was dark, and the teacher and students were gone. Like a “Twilight Zone” episode.

I went to the principal’s office to ask what happened. They told me my class went on a field trip to the United Nations and The New York Times. I’m glad I missed it! As an adult, I despise both institutions.

I spent the class day helping my former 5th grade teacher give a spelling test to his students. I was a teacher’s assistant for the day.

I had the Hong Kong flu as well. I was seven. I remember how sick I was. Every hair follicle hurt. Miserable.
