had to resort to taking cough syrup along with the dayquil tablet dose, started coughing so hard i was gagging. 8l u g h i feel like shit. it keeps bouncing between "kill me swiftly" and "it's not that bad" but whoof im really weak now.. let it go over me Fast, i am such a wuss when it comes to being normal people sick.
i keep passing out and waking back up in little hour long bursts. sleeping on the wedge is keeping me from Death Snot but its not making it go away. its just... tolerable. i've gotta get an mri tomorrow as followup for the thing in my femur. i honestly don't wanna but here we are. oh well. gotta figure out how to get to the hospital for the followup appointment too, since i don't really like. have a way to get there directly lmfao. maybe i'll ask roomie to drop me off early in the morning or something.. same as i'll have to ask her to drop me off for dentist appointment later in the month, most likely, because that's even EARLIER in the goddamn day than the followup about the femur.
".... why do i have a fever." "cooking the virus so it dies at the higher temperature! C:" ".............we die at high temperature too." "yes but it should die faster CCCCC:"
over 100 degrees lads took meds, ate ice cream have weird feeling i've upset roomie and friends somehow, not sure if i did or just wonky thoughts idek man. brain's friend. friend. fried. im leaving those there instead of erasing them bc they were funny but frustrating to keep typing im in blanket burrito and just.. feelin' weird, lads. feelin' weird. would like to not have weird brainthoughts.
doing a lot better this morning! fever's 99% gone, and most of the snot is gone too. all that's left is inflammation and a bit of stuffy that's not immediately leaking out of my face. gonna get my mri done easily and gonna grab a sub or something to celebrate the successful not plague-ening afterwards.
i earned my sub, a brownie and a mango smoothie. the snot appeared after i left the house and was trapped on bus with no help. my mri was not a normal mri: i had to get one with a one without contrast. so surprise iv :V did well tho, handled it fine enough. got it put in while laid back and all so my numbers were fine. burning sinuses while laying back tho, so that sucked but uh. survived. more snot when i got back up. went and missed my first bus back. so sat in cold a while. fever started coming back. went and got a sub. got a mango smoothie and a brownie before final bus home. made it inside. lost all strength in legs. crawled up stairs. crawled into bed while bellowing at my cat begging her to move her fluffy ass out of the one fucking spot on the bed i needed to crash onto once i'd risen upright and gotten my shoes and jeans off. i've now eaten my sub and finished my smoothie. brownie will be savored soon. apparently people are coming to do a walkthrough of the apartment later but its Terrifying in here and I'm also a wee bit infectious so uh. this is terrifying. we'll see how it goes.
also i totally understand it was the lady's second day at the subway but uh. 6 times saying the sandwich i want, three-four times repeating the bread type, correcting her that, no, i did not want a wrap, i wanted something from the entirely other side of the menu bc i was asking for a footlong thing on honey wheat Bread, getting salt and pepper i didn't want because she didn't understand Bell Pepper..... ma'am. ma'am pls. it was just a steak and cheese sub. it is not rock science. ._. it is a meat, a cheese i request, on bread. and then veggies. there is only one thing that's steak on there. and honey wheat is not a wrap. .... pl s...
i napped and then spent a really really long hot shower steam cleaning my lungs and sinuses and like. every other minute was be blowing my nose to get rid of junk that came out. i feel so nice rn. it'll prolly be icky again soon but. * u * i'll take it for now.
ohhhh neat! i got curious and looked into the teachers for the college thing i want to pursue and. one of the ladies? i recognize her stuff! and really enjoy her style! i've seen her things on tumblr and ohjoysextoy and stuff :D how rad eta: her site
i am now in the Ninja Snot stage of recovery. clear sinuses till i lower my guard, or sleep, and then suddenly It's Choking Time. i am also in the "my upper lip and both my nostrils are bright red and covered in dead skin" stage. 8U this is Lame but overall i feel a ton better so like. upwards progress at least.
trans lady in her 60's on a british medical show i was listening to while drawing and goddamn was she livin' life to the fullest. what a nice backstory to get in between making sure her foot was alright. and her son's a cutie too. x3 happy families make me grin. also, on the drawing front: goddamn. concept sketch to mostly finished full art piece done in one sitting.
me: im doing a lot better, i speed ran that virus. also me: :spent all night waking and sleeping drenched in sweat and shivering, went through 2 stores at the speed of smell, wilted in the second store and had to curl up in the pharmacy waiting area because I was collapsing in on myself like a dying star: im home now, but. jesus. i am not feeling great yet and i've got a lot of walking to do like.. all this week.
skipped my Get Results Of MRI appointment bc still icky and weak as shit and i've got PT tomorrow and also decided i didn't want to bring icky self near the cancer hospital even if I'm prolly not contagious at all rn. felt gross and kinda sad still and needed salt.. so i went to make rice, so i could try out my new unagi furikake sprinkles. BUGS IN THE LAST OF THE RICE, ABORT ABORT. opened new basmati rice instead, with a nice resealable top B) cookin' that up, gonna put the unagi stuff on top, gonna have it with some seaweed sheet, a sweet omelette, and a cup of miso soup too. gonna be FANCY today.
i've somehow lost half a fucking package of pads. how in the fucking shit did i manage that. where the fuck did they go. i tore my room apart till i was shaky, bagged trash that piled up while i was sick, even cleaned the litter to boot bc it needed it at the same time. tore cleaner room apart. nada. motherfucker.
:ROARS: kicked ASS at pt today!!! >:OOO did some flexibility stuff, the adapted bridges i do, stairs, 10 minutes on the bike, leg presses at a p good difficulty, another machine at a strength that had both my legs shaking and on fucking Fire by the end. also spent some time in like 15 degree weather with 6 degree windchill without a scarf bc im stupid, but the temperature shock seems to have helped reduce some sinus swelling and encouraged more unwanted cargo out of the canals. so. yay. C: i feel p goddamn nice rn. im gonna go make some fried rice for lunch i think.
decided to finally take the plunge and up my dose of depression meds. the duloxetine is easier to raise than anything else. kinda upset about the number i saw on the scale at the clinic but. eh. life goes on. got coffee at the cafe and treated myself to a comic as well. picked up Tinderella bc it looked interesting. decided it'd prolly be a good idea to look more into indie comics since thats whats caught my interest so much and that place has a good supply of indie and local indie stuff. c: cold as fuck outside still, i have Regrets about not wearing my scarf or a hat but do i ever learn? 8D NOPE
reminder that muscle weighs more, so with the PT seeing a shift up as you get stronk, or even plateauing isn't unheard of.
