Can't really claim to have gotten better. Yesterday seemed rather promising; my fever going down, the aches giving up and so on. Coughing got worse, as did pain in throat, but you can't win them all, right? Unfortunately I'm not sure I won any in this deal.
I could barely get any sleep last night, because swallowing hurt almost unbearably much. I haven't done much better in the sleep front during today, either. By now the throat pain is kind of constant, though swallowing still manages to make the pain flare up with renewed vigour. Most of the muscles of my body are sore from the coughing I've been doing. And as an extra icing on the cake, the pollen season has begun bringing with it the delight of allergies. Not only am I in pain and aching, I also itch like crazy! The allergies are messing up my nose, the pain is messing up my throat and I keep running into moments when I don't know what way I'm supposed to breath. Nose bleeds and thus having blood dry up in there are not helping either.
... I've way over-dozed all the cold and anti-allergy medication I have gotten my hands on and there's still the world of constant pain! Why?! For the love of anything holy, can't I just pass some of this misery asleep?! I just want to sleep and wake up feeling better, can't I please have that?
The thing worse than being sick is being sick alone. As in, having no one to help you out. It's one of those aspects I always mildly tread when thinking about living alone. I guess I really shouldn't though, because if I was on my own, at least there would be no one snapping at me for "annoying mumbling" when I can't get any more voice out than that and no one getting annoyed at being asked to pick up medicine from the pharmacy for me when they are already going out.
... Makes me want to cry. Except I'd probably choke for real if I even dared to try. Not to mention that it'd just make my body hurt worse. Thanks a lot life, just what I needed and with *perfect* timing.
