Ugh. I am so, so sick. It hurts to breathe, let alone swallow. I know I should be drinking water stuff to keep my fluids up, but it just hurts so much from the coughing. I'm not logging right now as small sips of water and sugar free lozenges and cold and flu drugs are all that have passed my lips for the last day, and all I can see myself ingesting for the forseeable future. Crawling to the bathroom for the vaborub and to run the shower for some humidity every once in a while is hard enough, I'm not going to the computer for every lozenge or glass of water.
Wish me luck, I have a mildly suppressed immune system, so this may linger for a while. If I'm not getting calories into me by tomorrow evening, I will call my doctor (he's amazing and I have his home office number) and ask his advice, but for now I know that all the hospital will do is expose me to other strains of infection, keep me cold and from getting any rest for several hours, and then eventually send me home. I've been through this before, and I haven't been ill long enough to warrant IV fluids or Rxs or anything of the sort, so please don't suggest it. I've got all the medical advice I need from the MD I see twice a week, knows me and my medical history very well, and whose home office number I can call at any time.
