For just about a week now, I have been sick. I know what you are thinking though. This is not your vision of sick, where you think, “Awesome! I’m sick! I get to take the day off of school! Woohoo!
“I get soup!
“And I get to watch hours of TV!
“And I get to spend the whole day on the internet!”
That is not the reality of what being sick is. I have been SICK for this WHOLE PAST WEEK.
And you know what I have had?
One: icky medicine.
Taking medicine (the liquid kind) is just disgusting. I always want to vomit my guts out after taking it.
Two: Sleep.
I love sleep. Sleep is one of my favorite things. But you know what? When you are sick, you can’t do anything BUT sleep.
Three: A cough way down deep in my chest.
Yes. I am not exaggerating. Breathing is becoming a chore. And I really, truly, madly, fondly miss, miss, MISS my breath support!
You know what you can do when you can BREATHE?!
WALK!
TALK!
WALK AND TALK AT THE SAME TIME!
SHOUT!
SING!
WALK AND SHOUT!
WALK AND SING!
GO PLACES!
and
BREATHE!
And I do desperately want to breathe again.
