thoughts from a flu-ridden shore
There are great truths that cross the mind when one feels sicker than a dog. These are not really to be classed as such.
1. A day of drinking nothing but Sprite/7Up leaves the mouth feeling exactly as if it had been coated with shellac.
2. It is possible to look so scarily pale that even a two year old treats you gently.
3. Doctors are arseholes! Give me drugs goddamnit! €50 a pop and there isn't even hot water in the bathroom.
4. Fleece is the fabric of angels, sick angels but nonetheless divine.
5. It is possible to cough so long and hard that you fuck up your spine. It is also possible to cough it back into place - though the pain doesn't go away for a while.
6. Perhaps I should have passed on those internet chain letters my English friend kept sending me. I certainly feel cursed now. 'So'n'so broke the chain and then spent a fortnight heaving at the sight of food, shivering with the hot aches and coughing like someone auditioning for a punk version of Camille.'
