Sick! Yesterday afternoon my flu started breaking through the Advil barrier that I had put up. I didnt pop any more Advil because I was home and I figured I'd just go to bed and fight it. Well, that didnt work and I now have a very bad chest cold. I mean bad. I was waking up every two hours or so because I couldnt breathe. It felt like I was drowning. I couldnt cough anything up because when I coughed it felt like there was a lump of something sitting in my throat blocking it. That, and it all hurt. My body doesnt often scare me, but last night I was scared. Once I got up and got a shower this morning I felt a little better. I came to work and took my usual cocktail of pills (two Advil Cold & Sinus and four Extra Strength Tylenol) and I feel alright now. That's not alright as in "better", that's alright as in I can sit here and breathe despite all of the fluid in my lungs. I think it is in my best interest to go to the ER tonight before this turns into something really bad.
I would be lying if I said that I havent eaten since Tuesday. Yesterday morning I ate two Tim Horton's peanut butter cookies at work, but other than that, I havent eaten anything since Tuesday evening when I had two tea biscuits before bed. Im that sick that I literally have no appetite. This isnt normal for me.
