It's been around three months since I've been sick. At first, I thought it to be a normal cold. Now, I'm not so certain. Yesterday, I had four dinner buns from Tim Hortons and two sweet potatoes and four potatoes. After seven hours of rigorous napping, I woke up feeling very feverish and nauseous. I got up to drink water and take my medicine. Then I started feeling freezing cold. What a mess my immune system was! I honestly could not believe the state I was in. I used to never get sick, even when the rest of my family was sick in bed with a cold, I used to go out and play because I was the only healthy one. It just didn't make sense!
My mother was telling me the other day that I should get a portable heater because germs and viruses survive better in the cold and my room was abnormally cold. I have a heating pad on my bed to keep me warm 24/7 but I'm not in bed every time I'm at home. So it's understandable that the air is bloody chilly and germs will attach themselves to me and make me very, very sick. I've been sick on and off for the past few months. I found out last week that the legal temperature for tenants (if you're renting or leasing, whatever) is 21 degrees celsius.This information will be of great use since my room is around 14, 15 degrees all year round. That includes summer.
It's very unfortunate that my land lady does not speak fully corrigible English. If she did, I would complain to her a lot more than I do now. The Internet at my house is slower than my school Internet, which is bloody sad!
So after I woke up and took my medicine, I was still feeling nauseous and gross. I took a long shower after talking to my best friend on the phone, and felt a little cleaner. That's when it happened. I threw up everything I'd eaten that day and it was disgusting. I don't want to be too graphic about this, so I won't mention what colour or the density of my puke. It was rather surprising how much I threw up. I did feel a lot better - my nausea disappeared after that. But I was still feeling feverish so I went back to bed after brushing my teeth.
Those of you that know me well will know I hate throwing up. But it was refreshing to throw up and not feel nauseous anymore. I'm starting to think it might be a bad case of indigestion at this point. When I woke up this morning, I was feverish again. So I washed up and took my vitamins and cold medicine. As I was walking to the bus stop to get to school, I ate a packet of crackers. I felt nauseous again after I ate them. Like throwing them back up again. But I haven't done that yet. I will, however, do that when I get home. Because I know it'll make me feel better. I don't think I could eat anything anytime soon. If a packet of crackers cannot be digested, what can be?
This reminds me of two years back when I was about to move to Chatham. I couldn't sleep for two weeks and couldn't eat anything for two weeks because of a stress disorder. Not that I knew that at the time. I just thought I was sick. But it was all in my head, ha ha. I hope it's not my stress disorder again... It was brutally painful last time. I really hope I'm not too sick. Because frankly, being sick isn't very fun!
