Got better…yay. Got ill again…damn it…

Hey readers, I’m all better in the whole coughing, stuffed nose, and fever department. I spent my first day of 2013 with something very normal, going to the local clinic. I was all better up in the face region; oh wait, back up to early December.

So I woke up one morning and stood up. I felt this harsh tingling sensation emanating from around my calf. At first, I shrugged it off since I sometimes wake up with a stiff leg from putting it to sleep with the other leg. At first it wasn’t so bad until Christmas, yup I got sick while sick. Well I didn’t know it at first, I thought it was just my body going through a phase. Since my face was crammed with germs, I took it as an opportunity to just take it easy and get better. Sure, I got better one way but my leg was constantly reminding me the painful predicament I was in.

So back to first day I feel well enough for the urban outdoors, I was fed up with this pain in my leg so I got it checked out. The news was okay, it wasn’t the leg but was part of my nervous system. A prescription for pain relievers and some stretching later, I was back at home contemplating my situation.

I’ve been medication free for the past couple months and now on a small dose of medication to treat something I should be having in my early 30’s. My state of mind after a week long ordeal of staring at blank walls is on the edge of going back to high school me. Trust me, high school me is super depressing; at least now I’m just depressed. You really have to be me to really understand the problem I’m in – the physical debilitating the mental, the enduring body of the fatigued mind. After I’ve been through which could come out as one of the top ten ways of a bad New Years, losing a bit of hope is a small price to pay.

The champagne has been drunk, the bar hoppers are back to work, the New Year is over; I’m the last person ready to for a bit of fun. If not fun, at least forced into making resolutions that can backfire. First, never get sick or ill for this year. Second, start on this thing called adulthood by getting a job. Third, enjoy life. Those are pretty simple, how can I possibly fudge it all up?

Happy new sickness…

Sorry guys for the lapse in content. There were some unforeseen consequences in the fact that I got sick and wicked bedridden for the last few days. I thought spending time with people I like to hang out with would be nice, but I guess Santa Clause thought I was super naughty and gave me an illness. Lets rewind back and give you the full story.

T’was the week of Christmas, playing some STO.

Then I got a text from my sis saying “D&D, wanna go?”

Leapt from my chair and donned my coat, I marched through the white,

Might’ve stopped by Subways, for a small bite.

Moving through slush, I reached the steps up.

Got in and was invited with a full teacup.

Boldly we rolled our characters, a Dwarf of healing.

Had a feeling we would all be wiping.

Into forests we traverse to a world unknown.

“Hey getting pizza, what you want?” a female tone.

…okay, I’m sick so this rhyming, is heavy on head.

I felt sick after that and went home to bed.

 

After Christmas I felt the symptoms; coughing, headache, sore throat. So I did my best to rest. Right before the Eve, thats when it got all worse. I woke up with a fever and my body was just tired. So I stayed in bed until my fever broke, and it did after a few days with most of the symptoms. Almost day four, and I’m trying to choke out the coughing. Rest and fluids should help, but I still have a headache. In a house full of noise, well it’s to rid it. I do my best to sleep when it’s loud and try to do what I can to not make it worse. But this headaches gone so far, I want to shut them all up by with some germ warfare with my coughing. On the upside, I got some neat gifts. Without any hard drive space, I am going to have to play them one at a time. 

I was able to get some headway with Skyrim with the Dawnguard DLC. After, maybe run around in the nuclear wasteland of New Vegas in Fallout. However I do want to pay GLaDoS a quick visit in Portal 2 and maybe try some player made creations. 

Well, I wish the Internet can help me recover right now from my illness. I don’t know, somehow feed me chicken noodle soup through my Playbook. I could use some warm delicious soup with chunky chicken bits.

Until that day comes, I’m going back to staring at my ceiling in the dark. Until next week, I hope you all had a better [insert holiday here] and a hangover-free New Year. Now back to bed….
