DIARY OF A SICKMAN

Oh man. So, things have been rough the last few days. I woke up Thursday morning with a sore throat that spiralled downward into 2 days of constant sleeping and feeling miserable. I don't have anything poignant or meaningful to say about being sick, but instead wanted to share how weird the last few days' schedule has been

When it comes to colds, kids are the root of all evil. Try living with someone on a pediatrics rotation sometime.

The best thing about shitty colds is getting better though. It's like a mini-Christmas season, gets your perspective all adjusted and makes everything seem joyous for a while. Feeling "better" rocks so hard.

Sadly, I think I spoke too soon. I woke up this morning with almost complete laryngitis and a head full of germs that shouldn't be there. So, it's most likely off to the doctor's office in the morning for some prescription-level meds...

A. You should always have chicken soup on hand. Then you wouldn't have had onion issues.

B. Pobrecito....

C. Seriously, who doesn't keep emergency chicken soup around?!

That's the thing, I usually do keep a can of the magic potion around. But I haven't been sick in so long I've been neglectful in re-stocking it in the ol' cupboard. Lesson learned, and all that jazz, I guess. :(
