Back to Life

I am here alive and feel much more like my ninja self than I did last week. I still have a deep cough that is slightly annoying but the pain in my chest and the feeling like I inhaled a small farm animal is gone thank goodness.

I know I have said this before but feeling good really feels good. I realize how much I take for granted when I feel like crap. It’s amazing how it takes feeling awful to really understand feeling great and what a blessing that is!

This morning on my way into work I got a call from my wife that she is going home sick.

I need one of these so we don’t play the “Pass around the sickness” game.

Awake for a Quick Post

Thank you all for worrying about me. I went to urgent care last night and they did not find anything significant.

I am on antibiotics, Anti-inflammitories, cough medicine, and some stomach medicine because all those drugs are going to make me sick! Lame in a way but whatev.

I am going back to sleep now so I can get up and weigh in tomorrow at WW.

Thanks again guys, you make me feel loved! :)

Breathless

There’s this pain that is stabbing me right in the middle of back. And it goes all the way into the front of my chest. With each breath is seems to sting just like the first time. Over and over.

My eyes feel droopy. I probably look just like Droopy at least that is how I feel. I keep thinking about my pillow. My covers. Nyquil and rest and yet, here I am at work. Staring at a computer screen with no idea how I got here.

There is a fog surrounding my brain today. I don’t know what to say when I answer the phones. I am not sure how to help anyone that calls. I am so sleepy and foggy. The back and chest thing is driving me nuts.

It makes me want to stop breathing. I can tell my breathing is shallow because of the pain. Maybe that explains the fogginess. Its lack of oxygen! Who knows.

I remember back when I smoked and how I would still have a cigarette even when feeling like this. I can’t even imagine doing that now.

I should go home.

I should stop breathing.

Sick Sucks

I am the coughster. The hacker. The sicky sick sicko. And I feel like crap.

I had a great weekend at the retreat and met some very cool people but I got sick. I have been coughing and hacking for two days now and I am sick of being sick.

My basal rate was adjusted to help keep my BG in control for the most part. I just want to sleep. My eyes are puffy and my nose is red from blowing it like mad.

I am a mucus monster. A Nasally ninja. A Snot Soldier.

I must be sick because I am trying to come up with other funny names for being sick.

Being sick is so draining on so many levels. It makes me want to ignore my diabetes but I know that is not an option. If anything, I find I check my BG more when I am sick since my levels get crazy high when I am sick.

How do you cope with being a Booger Burglar?

LOL – Oh man, when I laugh it hurts!
