Thought I’d made it through this winter without getting
sick. The horrible flu everyone has been talking about somehow evaded me.
People all around were sick, sometimes for weeks, but I just kept going
apparently unaffected by it all. Until last week.
I noticed on Monday that I was extremely tired. Odd because
I’d gotten more sleep than usual the two previous nights. Tuesday, things
turned a little worse and I knew I was getting sick. I started gulping large
amounts of water, juice, and Gatorade. These helped somewhat but by Wednesday
night, I knew I’d lost the battle.
I stayed home from work Thursday, something I rarely do. In
fact I’ve only called in sick once before, twice if you count when I was in the
hospital. But that one wasn’t really up to me, so I don’t count it.
Friday came and feeling a little better, I went to work—only
to stop in the middle of my run to go home. Saturday wasn’t any better.
Actually, it was probably worse. Sunday continued the same way. I’ll spare
everyone the details, as I’m sure everyone knows what being sick is like. The
problem for me is I’d never been that sick for that many days in my life.
Usually, the bad part, the debilitating part, lasts only a day or two. The rest
of the time is no picnic but bearable. Not this time, unfortunately.
By Sunday night, I was thankfully feeling much better. Good
thing, I have a blog to write. Haven’t done a thing all week so I’m sure
writing and posting this will wear me out. So, I’m going to wrap it up. Sorry I
had nothing interesting to report but as you can see, the only thing on my mind
all week has been this sick idea of writing about my unhealthy health. ~
