The Joy of Being Sick

Hey Guys

If you can't tell by the title of this post 

I'M SICK!!

Yep and I have been for the past 2 weeks and I can tell you that I have been living in hell for those 2 weeks. My days have consisted of shivering, coughing, sneezing, blowing my nose so much that I've gone through 3 tissue boxes and a roll of toilet paper (because we ran out of tissues), and trying different tablets to make me feel better 

 I've tried the blue Streptils first to numb my throat because it felt like I was swallowing knifes. I had one and it tasted like mouth wash which wasn't bad but it did not help at all. It took some pain away but it came back straight away.

In the middle of the night I had the Honey and Lemon Strepsils to sooth it and it didn't do anything either! I was just left with a horrible taste in my mouth with no result. 

It's funny because that day my friend told me not to try them because they don't work and I didn't believe her because I thought that everyone was different and that I would react different but NOPE. They just didn't work at all.

After that I just stuck to having panadol in the mornings, afternoons and nights and in-between that I was stuck in bed nearly coughing up my lungs while I binge watched the Brady Bunch for the whole week and a bit.

I ended up going to the doctor and she put me on anti biotic's and gave me a doctors certificate for the rest of the week but then I had to go back the next week to get another certificate and she gave me a few more days off so I had two weeks off school 

IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW WHILE SICK!!

1) Make sure you have all the DVD's you want to watch in your room so you don't have to keep leaving to get new ones, just make sure you have a bunch in your room.

2) Have a bottle of water or orange juice rather than a cup because they'll last a lot longer and, again, you won't have to keep getting up and leaving the room.

3) Have tissues and a bin next to your bed because it just makes life a whole lot easier

4) Make sure you email your teachers for any work that you've missed out on, if you're still in school. Trust me on this because it will become a giant pain in the ass when you get back to school having to catch up on so much work.

5) Keep hydrated and rest as much as you can. It will help you get over your sickness quicker

I'm gonna stop here because I can't think or concentrate on anything right now because I just found out I'm having problems with my subjects for next year and I'm still sick

Thanks for reading

Bye!
