you came and happened to me...
you were supose to leave ME alone. you were not supose to get ME sick. but no, here I am achy, can't breathe, can't even think! my eyes feel like they're bulging out of my head. My head itself feels like the San Andreas fault.
I'm drawing the line at coughing. YOU will NOT make me COUGH. I have self medicated myself and you will NOT succeed in making me cough OR in giving me a fever. Yes, Tylenol has become my every 4 hour pill.
I can feel you working on my ears. Thier ringing and stuffed up as well as sore. I feel like I'm hearing through ear muffs. Yes, you are making my throat sore but I have HALLS cough dropps and other nice liquid medications that sooth my itchy and sore throat.
And I guess you thought you had me at the nose bleed. That i'd throw in the towel and let you take over. But nope. I shoved a Puffs tissue with Lotion plus Vicks up my nose and continued on about my business. Infact, you did me a favor, the Vicks saturated tissue helped my other nostril open up so I could breathe a little easier for the moment.
I refuse to give in to you Mr. Sickness.
“...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.”--Stephen King

Don't feel too defeated. It has already worked it's way through pretty much everyone except you at this point. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI am such a moron. I posted this comment to the wrong entry by accident.
ReplyDeleteOMG! You sound EXACTLY like me! Are you sure we're not related in some odd way, lol? When Dub got sick last week, I refused to let myself entertain the notion of catching his evil cold. Then when Friday hit, and I woke up with that feeling, I tried to will my way out of actually getting sick.
It didn't work, but I'm fighting it like a champ. Or a chump, I'm not sure:)
Feel better soon, and know that I share your pain!
Ick! Feel better. Get some rest
