Dear LJ , today ...
I hate being sick, so much so that I need to magnify whatever I'm sick with and it's symptoms to about 10 times their actual degree of annoyance. Apparently this annoys everyone because they all hate being sick too but tend not to be such huge babies about it.
Seriously though, this is the 10th day of whatever illness this is(presumably the same thing that has nearly killed Andrea this past week :P) and in the mornings I've felt no improvement from Saturday through till today, after a day of work I feel marginally better and today in particular I actually felt pretty good except for one thing. My goddamn throat, it still feels like I"m swallowing food and beverage through a coffee stir stick and it hurts like a bastard. I've been to the doctor but he figured I was getting better and I never got a call back on the strep throat swab so that likely isn't what it is. The only thing that seems to give me temporary relieve is Ibuprofen or Advil as most would call it. Last night for example, we all watched the hilarious new futurama movie and I felt fine for the 2 hours I was over but my throat got worse the entire car ride back and and I wound up taking more Advil when I got home before bed just to sleep without pain in my throat. Today to, felt like a bag of ass flavored pooh when I got up and even puked up the cup of tea I drank making me late for work(I opened my door, nothing got inside thankfully) but as the day of work went on I was actually feeling pretty good... until about 3pm then my goddamn throat swelled up again. I just don't it, I seem to be over the actual infection, not really coughing up anything evil looking , cough has died down to only the occasional mild hack yet my throat actually almost feels worse then it did last Wednesday when I was at my worst.
Basically I'm completely sick of being sick and I just want this fucking illness to go away already. Hopefully the rest of you stay healthy this holiday season.
