So...I can't tell if things are getting better or staying the same.  Anyway, because I don't want to start studying just yet, here's a health update.

- coughing
- sore throat caused by coughing
- congestion --> phlegm/mucus --> blowing nose --> nosebleeds
- headaches --> fever (?)
- voice almost gone (?)
- tired

Again, I didn't get that great of sleep

Less talking then. Just pantomime everything. If you are having trouble breathing, I could try to find those nasal strips people use. I can honestly tell you that they did wonders for me but I was suffering from congestion due to allergies rather than from Virus X.

No, it's fine. Get enough sleep?

Take lots of vitamin C! And eat citricy stuff? That might help kick out the phlegm. Oh, and when I was sick, my mom like forced to to drink warm pomegranate juice cause apparently it's some chinese medicine thing, I think it sorta worked.

Citrucy stuff hurts my throat. Besides, doesn't citrus only help to prevent not uh...heal? XD Whatever the word is... warm pomegranate juice...I've never heard of that, actually.

ouch ouch ouch. Sounds painful. I'm sorry, love.

Io clear out the phlegm, my mother makes me put a dollop of Vicks (or something similar) in steaming hot water and breathe in the steam, while covering my head and the water with a towel. It really does help clear things up. Though my mum refers to it as catching the steam, steam and ghost are the same word in tamil, so its like catching the ghost? XD

Take lots of rest and dont worry about Ochem. I wanted to call but with you losing your voice, I dont want to make you talk. :\ Do plushies make things better? :)

It kinda is painful...

No vicks, sadly enough.

Awww, thanks! *huggles* Yeah, I'm kinda afraid to talk and kinda afraid not to talk. :/ Talking = lose voice. No talking = lose voice due to disuse. XD Dunno really. Plushies? Huh...I haven't been holding them for fear of contamination...
