Feverish & Worried

I still have a fever, chest congestion, and my throat is hurting a lot. 

I am continuously coughing, and I am feeling slightly nauseated. 

No, it is not related to the fever or the cough. 

I am worried about tomorrow. As I had mentioned in my earlier blogs, tomorrow is an important day for me. 

My life will be shaped according to how tomorrow goes, and that is making me anxious. 

I almost forgot to write today's blog because I am so tensed. I am currently trying quite hard to fall asleep. But, all is in vain.

I feel like sitting somewhere and just crying. I do not know why. But, I feel like curling up like a baby and just crying.  

I do not know what to do! 

I think, for now, I will try to listen to some music and try to go to sleep. 

I wanted to write more about my anxious nature, but I think that is best kept for another day. 

Wish me luck! (I know you have no clue why just wish me luck please, okay?) 

Tata!

Still Unwell: A Poem

My head is spinning
Like a little top.
I have been waiting for a while, 
For my ears to pop.

Nose is blocked, 
Yet, leaking freely.
I am getting better, 
But, oh so slowly! 

Tonsils are swollen, 
And, I have a mild fever, 
It's not even that cold, 
Yet, I have a shiver. 

Oh, Goddess of Health, 
Please make me better,
Sooner would be preferred,
Over sometime later! 

TODAY'S CHECKLIST:

• Exercise: None. I tried to walk around and almost fainted.

I Am Alive

(I am not sure what I just wrote, but anyway here it is. I am still so woozy in the head that I keep forgetting things. Wow, I was really badly affected by this fever, didn't realise it before!) 

These past five days have been quite bad for me. I had a fever on and off, runny nose (they are flaking right now because I had to wipe it so many times), body aching everywhere and to top it all off, periods. 

And, not just regular periods, my stomach felt like it was going to fall off my body. Sometimes it was paining so much; I would unconsciously start crying. 

Well, on Thursday I did feel a bit warm, but I didn't think it was anything serious. 

On Friday, my periods started, and I thought maybe I am warm and sniffling as a side effect of the periods. 

But, on Saturday I could feel the world spinning around me. 

I do not remember anything from Sunday. I was completely out of it. 
I kept sleeping and in between got up to eat and have medicines. 

Unfortunately, my parents had to go for a wedding so there was no one at home and so I had to keep doing things. But, I do not remember doing any of it. 

Monday was pretty much the same. My head felt heavy, and my body felt like rubber. 

Yesterday was a little better. But, my head was constantly in pain. Still, it was better than the earlier days. 

Today, I still have a runny nose, and I feel super weak. 

I have lost around 2.7 kgs in the last five days, and I feel so weak. 

My brain feels very fuzzy, and if I try to study or read, it hurts! 
(maybe I am getting stupider!!!)

Anyway, on that note, I am off to a short nap. 

Tata!

Better Yet Not There

A bit better today, but still too weak to think or do anything. 

I mostly slept. I couldn't do anything else. 

Fever has gone down, but body aches a lot. 

Funnily, I kept thinking of so many funny things to write but now am too poofed to write anything. 

Looking to tomorrow to continue writing.

The Blogger You Seek, Cannot be Found 

Today I woke up with hope and vigour that today I will finish all the pending tasks. But, the minute I stepped off my bed, everything went downhill. 

Oh, my head started spinning, my body felt like it was on fire, nose was blocked, and I couldn't speak. 

I did not know what was happening. I slowly sat down on my bed and decided to lie down for a bit. 

I woke up after I thought was 15 minutes, but in reality was 5 hours. 

I felt incredibly weak, and my brain felt like mush. 

I didn't have a fever as my temperature was only 99. 

After a quick lunch, I decided to take another nap as I felt like the whole world was spinning around me. This nap was truly short, and I woke up sweating; I had a very strange dream. 

I realised there was no way I could finish any of my work as I couldn't think straight without literally hurting my brain!!!

My mother wanted to have some simple pasta. I made some for our evening snack, ate it and went back to bed. 

I again woke up at 18:35 IST. 

It's 20:00 IST now, I just finished my dinner. My nose feels itchy and dry, and I am having trouble breathing. 

I think I will just call it a day and write today off as a bad day. 

Here is hoping, tomorrow is a better one! 

Tata!
