So...I can't tell if things are getting better or staying the same. Anyway, because I don't want to start studying just yet, here's a health update.
- coughing
- sore throat caused by coughing
- congestion --> phlegm/mucus --> blowing nose --> nosebleeds
- headaches --> fever (?)
- voice almost gone (?)
- tired
Again, I didn't get that great of sleep last night. Went to bed a little after 11? Woke up sometime later due to the ringing of our doorbell by some drunk? kids. Went to sleep, tossed and turned because couldn't breathe due to stuffed up nose, headache, coughing, woke up again at 2am because apartment mate was putting away her dishes (clank clank clank), tried to go back to sleep but to no avail. Instead, was really dizzy and unwell and severely stuffed up. Only felt able to breathe while standing, the irony, because standing = dizziness. Maybe fever but could no longer tell because I was totally out of it. Super tired during all of this, but can't go to sleep because I was feeling so damn bad. Stupid codeine, you failed me! Woke up several more times throughout the night before finally settling on a semi-comfortable, mostly-uncomfortable position where I drifted into a semi-light sleep. Then I woke up maybe 2-3 times this morning but each time, I determinedly drifted off again until I finally woke up for good at 0930. Wow, I looked like a mess. I'm a bit warm now, but I don't think I've a fever or anything else. Throat hurts, but I can swallow with no pain, definite congestion, trying hard not to cough because it really hurts when I do, not willing to stand up because last time = dizzy. :'( So instead, I'm going to sit at my desk and type up all my notes until I feel lightheaded for whatever reason thus making my work a bit difficult.
Oh, whoops. Slight headache. Maybe I am feverish? Emphasis on the "-ish" if I am. -_- Oh, peach flavored baby food is quite delicious. Say no to blueberry pear!

Phew...lost my voice for quite awhile just now. But it's back! Weirdly enough, I think some phlegm was stopping my ability to speak in anything not a whisper. Ew. But now, I can talk again! Weird voice though...

So, my throat is starting to hurt again, but so is everything else. The skin of my nose is slightly tender since I've been blowing my nose every so often. My left ear kind of hurts, I don't know why, which kind of sucks. My entire body is kind of sore, maybe from awkward sleeping positions, and I have a headache but no temperature. Plus, my stomach is kind of uncomfortable. That and it's really kind of warm but once I take off my robe, it's really kind of cold. I've been slowly typing up my notes for history, but if I keep at it for too long, my head starts to hurt, or if it's already hurting, it hurts more. I really kind of want to go outside since it seems like a beautiful day and because my apartment mate's parents are coming over late afternoon but standing up still makes me kind of dizzy. Then again, staying seated and moving my head makes me feel kind of lightheaded. I probably won't fall over or anything if I do go outside, but if the temperature warms up like the forecast is threatening, then I'll probably end up feeling worse than right now. Not to mention I'll feel even more exhausted/tired as well as out of breath because yeah, no energy + heat = really unhappy me. I'd lie down, but that doesn't help because then I can't breathe and every time I go from lying down to any upright position, my head kind of pounds and standing up from lying down is an accepted invitation for dizziness plus lightheadedness. At least I'm not feeling as dizzy as I was last night. Now last night was really bad - nothing was positioned correctly on its axis and I know I have bad eyesight, but not that bad. Fascinating how much things can change in a couple hours.

Having not spoken for several hours, I am not surprised that when I finally do, my voice is ridiculously hoarse to the point where I can barely understand myself. How embarrassing. I'm currently freezing, well, my hands are at least, so I can't figure out why I have yet another headache. I also don't think I'm hungry, though I probably should be, except I don't really feel anything except for my stomach slightly hurting. What I do know is that my nose is stuffed -again-, meaning I can't breathe through my nose anymore. AGAIN. To top it off, every time I blow my nose, I have a high chance of getting a nosebleed. Yesterday, every time I blew my nose, I had a nosebleed. I must have had like, five nosebleeds in just one hour. Maybe I should start taking my allergy medication again, though I don't really want to spray anything up my nose while I'm having sinus/congestion problems... I wasn't able to take a nap all day although I count that as a blessing of sorts. To be honest, taking a nap yesterday made me feel worse when I woke up, if only because my nap itself was less than pleasant. Groggy + everything else is just...ugh. Now I kind of don't even want to sleep except for the fact that I'm SO TIRED. When I do sleep tonight, I hope tonight will be much much quieter or else I'm just going to forgo sleep and just study some more. Either my apartment has noise or outside has noise because of random, probably drunk, students. Right now, I'm just glad that all I have tomorrow are lectures. Tuesday...I REALLY hope I'm feeling better by then because I REALLY do not want to face my ochem lab feeling the way I do. Estimated time for completion is about 2.5 hours and if what the TA said is true, it's an individual lab, meaning no partners. -_-
