Yes, I'm *still* sick. I hate being sick...I know, I'm such a baby. There are people living with all kinds of disease and illness, getting busy with their lives. Me? A serious cold or the flu will absolutely lay me out.
I do have a bit of an excuse, lame as it may be. I have ulcerative colitis. It's a disease where my body treats my large intestine as an invader. From what I understand, when my body senses something it should be fighting, it instead spends its resources attacking my colon. In addition to the problems that causes on it's own, it means I get sick more, and when I get sick, it takes me longer to get over it. I'm supposed to take medicine to help with this, but I don't...in fact, I haven't treated it in almost 12 years. I know, I know...but I kind of figure if I don't go looking for trouble, I won't find any, right? Going to the doctor will mean that I will have to have a colonoscopy, which I hate. And it may find problems that I don't want to find. So I don't go.
Instead, I get sick. And it makes me miserable. My body will eventually get it's shit together (bad pun) and fight it off. Until then, it's more NyQuil for me. Ugh.
Ok, I was about to pick on you for being a typical guy--a big baby about being sick--but then you go and give a good reason for being such a baby about it. Now I just have to scold you for not doing a better job taking care of your own health. GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, don't misunderstand...I am a HUGE baby about being sick. It's not like I've lost an arm or anything, but you'd think I did....
