Thoughts on being sick

A few thoughts roaming around my head at 1:00 am:

– I never really thought about it before but being sick comes in waves. I will have moments when I almost feel better than the fever will come back, I will start to cough and my eyes will get really goopy.  I will feel better several hours later and then it will get worse again. Being sick is the body’s way of teasing.  And that is just mean.

– I can’t decide if being sick is worse in the middle of the night or during the day. During the day I want to be doing almost anything else rather than sitting in my pj’s watching TV.  In the middle of the night, I would rather be sleeping than being up playing with the computer but sleep is allusive when the coughing keeps waking me up.

– This sickness is an interesting diet to be on. I only feel like eating when I am absolutely starving but then I only eat a few bites and then the starving feeling goes away and I stop eating.  I guess that is an upside to being sick.

– If I was the President of the United States, at the first sign of being sick, they would have run a whole battery of tests on me to determine what is wrong so they can do the proper treatment.  But I am not the President so it is more of a guessing game.  The only positive diagnosis is the conjunctivitis. The other part of this illness could be a virus, could be bacterial.  They just don’t know.  So I am in misery as we try different treatments until something works. I knew I should have picked a different career path!

– My littlest niece also came down with conjunctivitis this past weekend and she is already better.  Oh to have the constitution of a child.  They just get better so much faster!

I think that is all for this posting in the middle of the night. Hopefully my next posting won’t be on such a depressing topic.  If I have the energy tomorrow, I’ll try to write  something more interesting and upbeat. Just wanted to mention that so you don’t give up on reading this.
