Sick

After 3 days of what felt like agony I am feeling just about human again. I have been sick since Monday night. What started off as a really bad migraine headache now most likely was the flu and a migraine. I left work early tuesday because I felt like crap. Feeling like crap for me is unable to keep my head up due to intense pain and or the feeling that I will puke at any given moment. Tuesday was both. I won’t go into graphic details of how bad it was, but use your imagination.

I made it home tuesday only to realize my cleaning lady was there vacuuming and stuff. I went down to my parents place and slept there till late Monday. By then I had enough strength to get back to my place. I figured I would sleep what I figured was just a bad migraine off and be fine in the morning. That is what normally happens. Well my body didn’t agree to those terms. I woke up Wednesday feeling just as bad as I did tuesday. The entire day was that intense discomfort I get when I have a migraine. So I took all the migraine medication I could. There are maximum amounts of these drugs you can take in any given day / week / month and I don’t want to find out what happens if I don’t follow the directions. By mid Wednesday my dad and my doctor both thought that it was more than the migraine. My inability to keep food down was one sign. Stomach issues are common in migraines, but not common for me. I get it sometimes, the really bad ones. But 2 days in a row was weird. So I switched drugs to Tylenol and some migraine stuff just in case. I was finally able to sleep sometime late Wednesday. I cannot remember when.

I felt a bit better thursday, but in the morning I was still a bit out of it so decided to stay home from work and get it out of my system. I was sitting up watching tv by the afternoon, but still felt sick. By thursday night I felt allot better, but tired. I tried to sleep and here I am friday morning going into work.

My dad didn’t want me to go in today. He felt I should rest through the weekend and be 100% for monday. I promised I would stay in this weekend and take it easy at work today. I hate being home sick. Usually I am bored, but this time I was in too much pain to care most of the time. I just don’t like being cooped up inside that long. Hopefully everything works out ok today.

Well I did what I always do when I get sick. I take lots of cold meds that make me tired and sleep the entire thing off. It works for me most of the time. It is the “24 hours of Nyquil” regiment that my friend sean came up with in college. Well this time I went a bit longer than 24 hours, but the theory is the same. I zoned out most of friday. I did the same yesterday, but I was up at night. All that sleeping makes you not tired. I got up at like 11-am today and feel somewhat human. My throat is still a bit soar and my noise is still a little stuffed up, but I feel much better. After a shower and a shave I am wide awake. I need to be. I am off to my parents house for the first night of the holidays.

Before I go out I am expecting a delivery from Freshdirect. They still rock so I buy food from them. There arrive is perfectly timed since I have absolutely no food left in my apartment. I have been putting off the order for a week and then I got sick.

I woke up early this morning not feeling very well. I have a cold and feel like crap. My noise has been running all day. My ears hurt, and my throat feels like crap. The bad part is that I know it will only get worse before it gets better. I am heading home to Nyquil or Tylonol PM. Hopefully I can sleep using that stuff because I didn’t sleep well at all last night. Hopefully the drugs will kick this thing, or make me not feel anything while my body deals with the problem.

I left Kingston early since I don’t feel to hot. I left right when our CEO was showing up. Perfect timing on my part.

UPDATE, my jaw now hurts from the sinus pressure. I am on the train and the elevation changes are hurting like hell. I need some coco and a nap:)
