I've been sick for almost 2 and a half weeks. Started off getting a really bad sore throat, and what that means is that I will most likely always surely no doubt probably (yup....you got the point) will have coughing fits that accompanies with the cold virus I acquired. And sure enough, i started coughing crazy, a lot of times gagging b/c I cough so much UGH. It's so inconvenient to have this coughing fits at work, b/c I'd be on the phone answering questions and all of a sudden, I feel the urge to cough. I have to speak up on my work phone b/c our phone system is retarded that way, and with that coughing feeling, I can barely talk for a while. I'd be watery eyed, and barely say 'hold on please...' and put a client on hold and just cough cough cough cough cough! So sad....
I also gave the cold to Cynthia, but her symptoms were different than mine. She was just blowing her nose away, that she used 2 tissue boxes in a day or so. What made it jealous though, was that since her nose was clogged up and had sore throat, she had what me and Jun Wen call it the 'sexy voice.' It was a bit raspy and just so cool. But no, I didn't have that, I just kept coughin and coughin and making 25 million feet radius of empty space between me and the people around me. It's always so embarrassing when I get into coughing fits....ugh.
So this week comes, and i feel like the cough is subsiding a lot (after lots of cepacol...I bought a second box of it yesterday yay...) and Robitussin (which they recently produced a new item specifically to suppress cough..YAY...but i don't think it really worked. but oh well.) But I started getting runny nose like Cynthia, which I didn't really have in the first week when I was having coughing fits. I just felt weak in general and last night, I ended up sleeping at 7:30pm b/c I felt feverish and had a headache (hence google+ status is 'slept for 11 hours' haha).
I really hope that I get rid of this cold really soon. Sigh. Sux to have a cold. I guess I gotta appreciate that it's not a flu at least...don't get sick, everybody!!!

two and a half weeks seems like such a long time to be sick, aimi! have you seen a doctor yet? hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elaine. See a doctor. That's way too long to be sick!!! I hope you feel better!!! I've been kinda in the same boat, but with a sinus infection thing I had this summer that I guess came back.... But I just got my health insurance card, so I'm all good to go to the doctor now if it gets worse!!!
