Sick Bay

I'm down with flu and sore throat since yesterday, and it really is not a good feeling. My nose was running non-stop and my throat hurt when I swallowed. Fortunately, after a nap yesterday afternoon, my sore throat went away.

This morning, I woke up to a still-runny nose and a deep voice. I tried to cure myself by taking whatever medicine I could find in my house, and also drinking lots of herbal tea, but to no avail. As the day progressed, my voice became deeper and deeper (and sexier and sexier ;P), and my nose was still running. Nothing could stop the flow. Finally, out of desperation, I went to see my family doctor in the afternoon, and I asked him to prescribe for me, the strongest medication that was available in his clinic.

After taking the medication, my nose seemed to be a little better although it's a little blocked now. Well, I prefer to breath through my mouth than to blow my nose non-stop! As I'm writing this post now, my voice is nearly gone. I'm having problems getting audible sounds out of my mouth. My sis said the cough medicine doesn't seem to work, but I hope it'll prove her wrong.

Hopefully, I can recover completely before Christmas, as I don't want to spend my Christmas consuming medication instead of festive goodies!!!
