Captain’s Log,
So today is what…day five/six of Swine Flu. I feel like I’m finally starting to get somewhere (touch wood).
In the past five days I have barely left my bed, I have showered maybe 3 times, I’ve filled my bed with sweat…countless times. It really hasn’t been very pleasant, but it could be a lot worse.
I have been sicker than my brother has, it has lasted longer for me (he’s had a worse cough but he always gets nasty coughs), and I’m just generally crap with illnesses (and…just generally crap).
SYMPTOMS:
- sore throat
- gross cough
- nose like a tap/faucet
- mad fever + chills
- mad body aches + cramps
- mad stomach ache (it feels like something is stabbing from the inside trying to get out)
- vomiting
- weakness
- fatigue
- ear ache/blockage
But the weight loss is always a bonus.
So today I’m starting to feel a bit better (TOUCH WOOD); cough and nose aren’t as bad (both still fairly nasty though), I feel I’ve got a bit more energy, I’m not in bed all day long, and my face is looking a lot healthier (I’ve got that retard glow starting to come back).
Hopefully, I’ll be able to go to the Belair Hotel Dining Experience I have planned for din dins tomorrow. I organised it a couple of weeks ago, for the kids to go to dinner at the newly renovated local pub/buffet that is now done up and no longer derro enough to be a buffet. Afterwards we might be going to town. I should be well enough to go to the din dins but I really want to go to town…but alas, I do not think that is possible.
Anyway, what I’m saying is that swine flu is pretty crappy. I’m hoping I don’t die, but meh, we’ll see what happens.
P.S. Jeep Brah.
