Early 05 Sick Log Day #4
Still getting worse. I feel worse this morning than I did yesterday morning. I absolutely dread the coughing that happens right after I wake up. Dread it. It's so painful. My whole bronchial tube (both of them) is raw. My throat feels like salty sandpaper on a wound. I hate this.
I woke up this morning at 5:30AM and had a fit of coughing. I was hoping to get some Robitussin, but realized that we needed something now... not something perfect. Heather's doctor gave her some Congestac. It's an expectorant and probably has the same ingredients as Robitussin's expectorant. That's good, because I expect to rant.
This sucks.
Around 10:30AM when we got up to let the dogs out I harked up what looked like a piece of lung. I was having a coughing fit, covering my mouth with my hand. Apparently my mouth was open because when I was done I had a gelatinous blob on my left index finger. THIS THING HAD LEGS. I've never harked anything like that up. I took pictures.
Update 8:58PM: Pretty crappy day. My main problem is complete lethargy and body pain. I felt like a walking zombie all day... completely depleted. Unable to sleep. Unable to do anything productive. Slight headache... annoying... but never a full headache. No appetite. I think I've done about 1400 calories all day.
Took a nap later in the afternoon. I was very happy about being able to get to sleep. But despite not sleeping under the covers I woke up covered in sweat. I didn't feel hot or cold... I was just covered in sweat.
Since the nap I'm feeling a little better. The body aches aren't as pronounced. I can sit still for a few minutes at a time.
