1/28/2010 - Sick

I can't remember the last time I was this sick. I don't get sick often. In fact, on average, I only get really sick about three times a year. I'm not deathly ill but I do feel pretty terrible. I can handle a cough and a sore throat but this is different. I have the kind of cough where it doesn't quite come out and it leaves all kinds of festering phlem in your nasal cavity. I feel it's a combination of my sinuses and the common cold. I don't think it's a sinus infection. Sinus infections are the worst. I don't handle them very well either. For me, sinus infections are more of a sit and wait kind of illness. Can't go anywhere. Can't do anything. All you can do is wait until your immune system destroys the infection. I hope it doesn't get that bad. Especially now, with school and everything going on. Although it may not be that bad if I do have to stay home. I would just have to strategically pick a day where I have low priority classes. I could also watch a lot of movies. Some my best film sessions have been while I am sick. I tend to gravitate towards horror films or thrillers/action films when I'm sick. I stay away from comedies and Dramas. Comedies because laughing is most likely a problem and dramas would probably bore me. I would have to keep up with school work though but I don't think I've ever studied why ill. . . .

Anyways, m y status right now goes as follows:

As of this moment, I am fairly ill. I'm feel well enough to go to school but not well enough to attend low priority/early morning classes. My throat is very tender and I have a light cough. My nose is completely stuffed up. At night and early in the morning I have a light headache but I attribute that mostly to sleep deprivation.

I know my immune system pretty well. I think I will be fully recovered by mid-afternoon on Sunday. Until then, wish me well.
