Day 67 Sinking deeper into tissues and blankets.

Okay, so I am still sick and I have two dumb stories I want to write about tonight.
First: Saturday night (at least I think it was Saturday night) I tried to take an Advil cold and sinus pill and because of all the mucus it got stuck in my throat. I could still breath, but it was super uncomfortable. So I looked up online to see what to do (it was three o'clock in the morning and everyone was asleep). Nothing I tried worked. They said eating things like bread, salsa, honey and ginger, hot water, vitamin C, along with other odd ideas should loosen and free the pill. I tried them all but none of them worked, and I could feel the pill start to move down my throat but then it would move back up to where it was before. So I finally gave up. I went upstairs to re-brush my teeth and as soon as I had put tooth paste on my tooth brush I puked in the sink. The stupid pill had moved and triggered my gag reflex, it was gross. I managed to get to the toilet and finish puking there, but once everything was out I could still feel the pill in my throat. And to make things worse the sink is a piece of crap and clogs easily soooo skipping to the point, it clogged. I finally climbed in bed at four thirty with the pill still stuck in my throat, but on the bright side the sink is clean and because of the ludicrous amount of Drain-O I poured in it drains a little better than before...sort of. Today I learned (By accident) that if your throat is covered in mucus soda (Ginger Ale) helps clear it off a little bit. So when the Advil got stuck again today I got out a can of Ginger Ale and it went down beautifully. Much better than Saturday.

Story two: So this "morning" (I was up late with a headache and slept in till about 12:30 ish) I got in the shower before going down stairs. I was almost done when suddenly I felt dizzy and nauseous, and I could feel my vision getting narrower. My vision soon was grainy as if things were turned to low resolution. I was leaning against the cold shower wall trying not to pass out. So it doesn't go completely away but I'm able to finish. I get out wrap my towel around me and I can feel the room tipping side to side so I grab the counter and slowly sit down with my back against the cabinet. I'm not sure how long I sat there waiting for the nausea and dizziness to go away. But I'm just relieved that it did go back to normal, and it didn't happen again today. It was kind of scary.

Cold adventures aren't fun. I hope I get better soon. Plus the sooner I'm better the sooner I can really hit my book hard. I really struggle to stay awake at the computer when I'm sick.
