HHU: Hozzy Health Update

(HHU? What the-?)

Right, ok. So I'm not that sick anymore. Or maybe I still am - we can never trust the horrid little microbes to be admitting defeat, can we? But, symptom-wise, I'm feeling better since the fever and headache and wooziness were gone; Thanks Be to God! I went to visit the doc anyway and got some funky but of course expensive meds.

Fluimucil efferversence tablets! My first mental reaction was, Oh no! I couldn't stop thinking about something that tastes awful, plus it'd be half cup full of awfulness. But then, when I finally dropped it into the water, and sniffed, ah! it smelt of lime! Essentially, it tasted like Eno, or sparkling lime water. =) That was great. And that was for the phlegm. So.. what wonderful medicine for clearing phlegm! Hah!

Point is, I got better. I feel better. But... then I started sneezing and having to blow my nose and having my nose stuffed and having to take Sudafed after tossing and turning and having to toss and turn some more because Sudafed kept me awake (or maybe it didn't. It's just a possible side effect.) Anyhow, I'm determined the new nose problem will go away sooner or later. After all, the chesty cough is quite over, so I feel much better.

Since the phlegm's quite all gone, I'm not coughing due to tickling in my lungs, but just 'residual coughing', to put it simply. It is at this point that I realise I've been coughing quite a lot. I mean, my abdomen muscles ache! That also probably means that I'm un-athletic, un-healthy; basically I lead a sedentary lifestyle. I shake my head at myself.

I should get back to Systems Bio! To end off, let me just say this: acupressure kinda works! I didn't want to take anymore Sudafed, or any other meds for that matter, so I googled around for solutions to stuffy nose. I came across this site where this person shared some massage instructions for nasal congestion. Er, disregard the parapsychology and TCM stuff and whatever; my point is the massage. Oh darn, I wonder if I'm already pushing buttons by saying that acupressure works. Hmm.

At the end of the day, I thank God for healing me, even if I'm not completely healed yet. I thank God that somehow I pulled through, and didn't sink into some sort of sickness depression, especially when my exams are not over. I thank God that I remembered to pray. I thank God for people who prayed and are still praying for me!
