My cold wouldn't go away.

I have a chest infection, antibiotics, orders to stay inside and many cherry-flavoured cough drops.

I lost my voice though.

EDIT; Does this happen a lot?

EDIT #2; I'm already in bed, Mama ♥

Does it hurt? Do you want some opium? Pot perhaps?

[Filter: Charon]

[mynightlywander]

A little.

Um.

No, thank you. But thank you for asking.

[Filter: Melinoe]

[givemeyourgold]

Cool.

Odd that colds are so common so close to summer.

[mynightlywander]

They are?

[backgroundsnark]

Mm, yes. They are plaguing the rich and powerful of New York as we speak, it would seem.

[mynightlywander]

That doesn't make sense. Summer doesn't make things cold. And I'm not rich and powerful.

[unyeilding]

We might need a doctor to come look at you.

[mynightlywander]

I already went to see Bob.

He... is very particular about his name.

[unyeilding]

Particular? Did he give you a hard time?

[mynightlywander]

No. We just talked about the values of patients feeling more comfortable around their doctors by being on first name terms, etc.

But he calls me Milly, so he ruined any effect it was supposed to have.

[mynightlywander]

Yes! It's hard not to--he keeps repeating things.

He said he doesn't think I'm contagious any more, so I don't think you have to worry about catching my germs. Or something like that. But it would be nice ♥

Does orange-flavoured soda count as orange juice?

Mortal bodies are susceptible to all sorts of illnesses.

This one's a common cold, so I suppose it happens a lot. They can be prevented, though.

[mynightlywander]

It's a chest infection.

... How?

[_ametricmelody]

Ah, my bad. I hope you get well soon.

Eating healthy, eating vitamins, exercising regularly, etc. It won't negate all chances of falling ill but it helps a fair bit.
