My sickness... summarized!

Haha well technically i have been sick for 5 days...Sunday to Thursday...I am going to Summarize! Tell you guys about my experiences from this time off...

First off the disease i had was a strep throat. Google strep throat pics to see what my throat looked like. The doctor said he hasn't seen a throat as red as mine this year. Im not sure how i got it. The only clear facts are that I went to Erins house to watch a movie, nightmare on elm street. The doors were closed for dramatic effect (why else right??) and she had a sore throat. The next morning i woke up with a sore throat. Now what could have happened in there that gave me her virus? Anybodies guess if you ask me... So back to the symptoms and so on..

Day 1) Sunday

Well i woke up with a slight sore throat. Actually this is quite normal and usually coffee makes it go away. Anyway, coffee did not help so i just ignored it...We had skated a lot the weekend and i donated blood in the week before so i was tired and weak and had a sore throat. My immune system was a bit down i guess... So i started the day by going to our church, JBBC (Jeffrey's Bay Bible Church). After which i walked to the mall in a coldish wind. When i got there i rode skateboard indoors and got completely warmed up. I sweated and logically took off my top. We went street skating after that outside in the cold til about 4:30... This time i walked the incredibly far distance from post office to Timon's house... seeing as you cannot comprehend this it is probably equivalent of walking around a soccer pitch once!!! When i finally got there completely worn out  i found that they were not home.. so i sat outside there house for an hour knowing i could break in and make me coffee but i did not... By this time my slightly sore throat had turned into a every time i swallow it hurts sore throat. After minutes of walking to his grandmothers house i hitched a ride to church...Bare mind that i walked at least 4 and a half minutes to get there!!!

Day2) Monday

Well Monday started by waking up for the 15th time because i swallowed. What good nights rest i had ey? Luckily my body went into its survival mode and my spit that builds up in my mouth simply went down my throat without me having to swallow... this was a problem though cause the next time i woke up was at 6:00 vomiting cause of all the mucous that had gone down my throat... vomiting was probably one of the most painful experiences i have ever had in my life due to my strep throat. I could compare this pain with the pain i felt when i fell and broke my wrist, or the time a bicycle fell on my head and i got 5 stitches or the time I slammed my finger with the TV remote (okay the last one might not be so bad but it was a big remote and i was running out of painful experiences.) It felt like my uvula (klein tongetjie) was in my mouth and i felt as i pressed it back into place with my finger... I went to the doctor and he gave me a wonderful injection that made everything better :)... unfortunately the drug did not last too long. The rest of that day i was lying in bed feeling sick...

Day 3) Tuesday

Tuesday was a wonderful day cause i learnt that Erin is also sick at home so i could at least chat with her...Boy did we chat... the entire day we chatted... i couldn't watch TV, read my book, play PC games, nothing...i was talking to Erin... Believe it or not, but believe it, she was more interesting than any other thing :) My throat was still sore . My nose was stuffy. But it was a wonderful day. :) Tuesday evening ,24 hours later after id been to the doctor, the doctor phoned and confirmed my 2 minutes with Google that it is a strep throat... Genius doctors these days we have...

Day 4) Wednesday

Wednesday i did the same thing as Tuesday except i had a little time for my book too :)... During the day i was only chatting with Erin but later the afternoon i was in our computer room reading my book when i saw the massive spider staring at me... learn more about it by reading my previous blog entry. I must admit that i felt much better Wednesday. I thought i would be returning to school on Thursday... My mom disagreed and said i should remain home one more day... I figured why not...

Day 5) Thursday

Thursday/ Today was my final day of being sick... Erin decided she was up for school so she went to school today. This morning i spent catching up on all my TV shows. Modern Family, Glee, Cougar Town, the big C, Lie to me, Harry's Law, Chase, Master Chef Australia and the new season Chicago code... After which i turned off the TV for a bit and spent two hours reading my book. The first hour was spent reading Chapters 4 -7 and the second hour was spent reading them again... I could also not tell you what happened in any of my shows... This is because while i was reading my mind was thinking "If only Erin was at home now. We would be chatting so leka" Luckily school ended at 13:45 and i could chat with her again...

Overall I would say this has been a very productive week... I walked up the stairs at least once every day (got double the usual exercise)... I was on mxit less than usual... And i slept at least 6 hours every night...
