the waiting is the hardest part
Ok, so day 8 of being sick, or maybe it's 9? I'm really writing this because I want to make sure I kinda "document" my illness this time around so that I can report to my doctor. This is the worst I've felt (and the longest duration thereof) in a long time.
Anyways....so I'm taking a hot shower this morning. I usually take long, hot showers because I wake up and my body hurts. Something about the hot water seems to losen up my muscles and what not. Actually, back track. I took a dose of advil first. I was hanging out for a bit with my roomie and a mutual friend, waiting for the advil to kick in. The waiting is the hardest part. Because you feel like shit...well, because I feel like shit. My throat is sore (and feels a little swolen), my back hurts, both my knees hurt, and I have a general sense of malaise. But there's always that 30-45 min before the advil kicks in.
Then an hour goes by. And the throat is not quite as sore. My knees hurt a little bit less. I have a bit more mobility. But still pretty much feel like shit. This is the worst moment of the day for me. Because the advil has kicked in, and this is as good as it's gonna get.
That's the thing I hate the most.
