Still sick

[judecorp]

And seeming to get worse instead of better. Of course, the fact that I haven't eaten anything (aside from a few spoonfuls of soup and a lot of popsicles) since lunch on Monday (and lunch consisted of one of those tiny frozen meals that are "low fat" because they contain two bites) is probably impeding this. I am so weak. My head is so heavy. My throat is even MORE swollen after 2 days of Zithromax and now my left ear is throbbing along with it, even though I've been taking 2 advil religiously every 5.5-6 hours. (If anyone knows me, you know I never take pain killers.)

I don't know what I'm going to do. I missed a day of internship today. Tomorrow I have class and my campus job, and in class it's my turn to co-lead the discussion panel on the readings. I can't even talk. My throat is so swollen that my voice sounds like it's covered with Saran Wrap. And I hurt, I hurt, I hurt.

I know I need to eat, but I can't even bear to swallow my own saliva (sorry for the gross out). I've been trying to eat popsicles to numb, but it doesn't help. Ditto for tea and soup. I'm not used to feeling like this. I've NEVER felt like this, let alone for three days.

Does anyone have any suggestions? (I've also been gargling with salt water. Nope. Not helping.)

I wish I had someone here to take care of me, sit a safe distance away at the edge of the bed and read me stories or sing sweetly. *sulk*

I wish I had someone here to take care of me...

I offered, hon. I wish it could have been a real offer.

I hope you're better really soon.

You have some more travelling to do.

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine in time to travel south. I swear.

And I wish your offer could have been real, too. Phooey.

I will SO take care of you when you are here.

Honest!
