But I have been really really knocked off my can these past few days. I guess I never really appreciated my energy level, until I didn't have one at all! My symptoms have run the gamut. Pounding headache. Body aches. Swollen eyes. Nasal congestion. Chest cough. Chest pressure and discomfort. Unable to function.
If this is by chance the flu, I think I'll get a shot next year!
Yes, I have gone to the doctor and am on medications. They did not make me instantly better overnight, as I had expected.
When I don't have my health and wellness, and most of all, my energy, I don't even recognize myself. My husband has no idea who this person is he is currently living with. All he knows is "that I am not allowed to be sick" per my own mantra. (which isn't helpful when one is really sick!) My mantra has failed me. My wellness has taken a hike. My health is sleeping on the job.
Despite all of that, I am finding it extremely difficult to just do nothing. Just sitting there hurts. Laying in bed hurts. Light hurts.
But I do believe that there will be light at the end of the tunnel, and once I emerge from the tunnel, me and my health and wellness and energy will re-unite and have a grand old time once again.
