OMG...BEEN SICK FOR MORE THEN A WEEK!!!
I have forgot when I started to get sick, just know that it was sometime last week. If i remember correctly the beginning of the week nice a warm, and then rains and even snow came too. I think that it was the transition of being cold to warm to cold that made me sick.
Symptoms:
95% Coughing
2.5% Cold
2.5% Fever
Unknown % Headache
For the past week I haven't gotten a single night of good sleep. I would only say about 3-4 hours of closed eyes. The coughing would be keeping me up all throughout the night. I remember one night i went to be at 11 pm, and planned to get up at 6 am to finish up an assignment that was due at 10 am. So I went to bed and thought I could get some sleep, but I was so wrong. Every 15 minutes to 30 minutes I would feel the urge to cough, and not just once, but it would be 3-4 times. That went on for the entire time that I was in my bed. And I can even counting the hours going by each time the urge to cough came. 12am, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am... And then 5:54 am that's when I got up because I set my cellphone and alarm clock to go off at 6 am. So I got up and stopped them. So went into the bathroom and washed up and headed down stair to finish the assignment. And I was surprise to see that my brother is still sitting at his computer... This type of sleep went on for couple days.
Those couple day I didn't take much medicine because I thought it would go away soon enough. I think I started to take medicine on Sunday.
What I took:
Cold Medicine: 3 times a day, 2-3 tablets each time
Cough Medicine: 3 times a day, 4-6 tablets each time
Honey Pei Pa Koa (The Chinese Buckley's): This one tastes good and work ok
The cough medicine really surprised me at first. It was a brand new bottle to begin with, 3 times a day, 4-6 tablets each time. 3 x 6 = 18. Here is the funny thing, the bottle only contains 30 tablets... So that means it wouldn't last 2 days if I ate 6 each time. So I only took 4 each time. And they are not just those tiny ones, they are those gel cap ones.
Since Sunday I have been sleeping in the living room. This is because that my mother said my coughing are keeping her up at night and that she is getting headache because lacking in sleep. So I slept in my living room for the past three days. But I found out that 1) I cough less, maybe because the medicine are working, 2) I fall asleep much easier on the couch. Even though my brother and my dad would be in the living room, one watching TV and one on his computer, but I can still fall asleep. WEIRD
So it has been 1 week and 2 days. Felling much better, cold gone, little bit of headache still around. The coughing is almost clearing up. Just 1 or 2 more days and I should be back to 100%. Lets hope the weather stays above 15 from now on.
Weird how this blog is about me being sick after I haven't written for so long. Well to answer my own question, it because there is nothing new or exciting happening in my life right now. I wish something would new would suddenly show up, whatever it is at least there would be something to do.
School... Haven't been to that place for about two weeks. I am still handing in my assignments, I just don't feel like going to class. Spending 2-4 hours on the TTC just to listen to the prof talk Power Point is so pointless especially when there isn't even an exam for that class.
Well, w/e.
