Thursday I had a bit of tightness in my lung area and knew I was coming down with something. I’ve been taking my vitamins and drinking oj every day like a good girl so I had hoped it wouldn’t hit me hard. No appetite around dinner – just drank gatorade and water.
Friday the cough started and the tightness got even tighter, but it was still livable. Still no appetite, lots of gatorade and water.
Saturday the coughing was non-stop and my voice lowered about an octave. Still no appetite, lots of gatorade and water (Yay for Kroger’s having a 10 for $10 sale on Gatorade)
Sunday I couldn’t speak. Which was a blessing because my voice at the end of Saturday sounded like a bullfrog. Still no appetite. At this point I hadn’t eaten since Thursday evening. Lots of liquids though!
Monday I couldn’t breathe – and here I thought the worst was over. Got sent back home from work and spent the day just trying to breathe. Still no appetite but managed a piece of toast last night. At this point I’ve switched to Powerade because I’m tired of Gatorade flavors!
And now it’s Tuesday – my voice is back up to a croak, and I’ve been addressed as my boss a few times. Now the congestion is hitting my head and it feels like a balloon is about to burst inside.
I would give anything to have me back again!
