Update on the illness

The good news: The glass-grinding, gut-wrenching, blindness-inducing migraine has now subsided to a small ache just above my ears.

The bad news: My throat is so bad now, that I have no voice, it hurts to swallow water, I can't eat anything, and everytime I cough or sneeze my vision goes bendy because it hurts that much. Also, my lymph nodes are swollen (at least, i think that's what those are - on the throat, where the doctor checks?). I do have a slight fever - just under 100. And I couldn't sleep last night because laying on my back would make my nose all congested and would drain into the sore throat, and I couldn't lay on my side because then my head would start pounding.

Please god, send either death or cure. *prays*

The circle of life...

Just finished watching the Lion King. I love that movie. I think it marks one of the last truly great Disney movies. And, it made me feel better.

The pain, it seems, is in temporary remission. I took a scalding hot bath and had some hot tea. That and the three pain pills I took seem to have done the trick for now. So I'm going to get up, do my dishes, hopefully take the trash out and get started on a paper that's due Friday before it comes back.

Here's hoping.
