I'm tired of being sick. I've been feverish since Saturday night. I'm tired of feeling like crap. I'm tired of my ears ringing. The medical professional I saw declared it viral and said if I still felt this bad on Friday to come back. Whatever. At last check my fever was 101.3 just about an hour ago. I'm a bad sick person. I don't like to feel all weak. I don't like the exhaustion that results from climbing the stairs. I'm tired of coughing. I'm tired of blowing my nose. I'd like to swallow non painfully some day. Really. This can all end soon. I'm telling you ibuprophen and sudafed are not doing the trick no matter what the nice medical person said. Also I've developed a disconcerting rattle in my chest.
