Oh, do I miss the days when getting the “flu” meant being sick to your stomach for a few hours, hurling one or a couple of times, and then spending the remainder of your afternoon and evening under a warm blanket, dozing on the couch in front of the tv, sipping ginger ale, weak but otherwise content, having gotten out of school for the day.
Now it goes on for days, and it's all muscle pain, headaches, coughing, and a fever that keeps coming and going. First you're hungry. Then you start to eat and find that food—all food—is unexplainably disgusting. Then you're too hot. Then you're too cold. Then you get bored with dozing and watching tv after two days of it, and go to sit at your computer to catch up on some web work, and find you can't sit up for more than 10 minutes without slumping over in your chair, placing your head in your hands, wanting to nap right there.
Which is where we find ourselves now.
At this point, I would gladly give up a day's pay just to be well again and be able to go to work tomorrow. Can you believe that? So sad.
