See what condition my condition is in..
Consonant reader,
I shiver and ache, from my head to my toes and all thats inbetween. The slightest movement is a labour, I am ultra tender and sensitive to pretty much anything; even going to the toilet has become a test of nerve as it feels like I'm pissing razor blades.
The glands in my throat has swollen on one side to the point where its a pain to turn my head without affecting it. I cannot swallow without a blinding flash of hurt throughout my neck.
My appetite has completely disappeared. In the last 2 days I've had half a boiled egg, two soldiers and a vanilla yogurt. To add insult, my taste has flown south also making the said items seem more like rubber, wet cardboard and chilled mud respectively.
Because it really hurts when I swallow, and by that I mean, I know if I have to swallow or not, I've not been sleeping at all well. I keep waking up each time I swallow, which is just horrible. I don't think I've slept deep or dreamt since Thursday night. The weekendwas a complete non- starter.
My girlfriend has been looking after me even though she's a bit ill herself.
*sobs*
BUT! Dry your eyes mate! At least I'm getting it before christmas eh? Aint that grand? Should be fine for New Year too.. If you're ill, get well soon too, its a shit. My hint: get ill as soon as possible so that your in tip top shape for the 25th onwards..
*Leaps up and sings 'Happy days are here again', knocks over the Beechams powders with dressing gown to start dancing in a cabaret style on the kitchen table*
(Crumb: Yes, I know I just mentioned the word 'Glands'..)
