Ill and delirious

I'm so disgustingly ill it's not true. I have an ever-flowing waterfall of snot cascading from my nose every five seconds. My taste buds decide to come back randomly then disappear 5 minutes after I start eating something. I had a bad night again, waking every 2 hours, tossing and turning, several coughing fits... when I finally did wake up properly I felt sick to my stomach and had what I could only describe as a pulsating migraine making me want to die. At 2pm I went to pick up some antibiotics so hopefully this thing will be cleared up by next week. But it seems to get worse every day so I doubt I will be able to make Bash's dinner tomorrow :(

Luckily, the combination of strong painkillers, dulled taste buds and general loss of appetite meant that I didn't really eat until 4 o'clock this afternoon, apart from a few little pieces of icing from the cake Alfie brought round last night (along with a nice bottle of wine I can't have). I had a tuna sandwich on low cal malted bread with 2 packets of crisps and a diet coke. Yep, I was sort of celebrating that my taste buds were back... but now they're gone again and I literally do not see the point in eating. Woke up at 141.6 lbs. 140 is looking promising for tomorrow... maybe I shouldn't be complaining so much about the sinusitis. It's making me drop weight as I have lost interest in food and I haven't been able to smoke. So maybe in a strange way, being ill right now has its positives... I don't know. It's not too easy to focus on the positives when every 5 seconds you have a coughing fit and your eyes and nose start streaming?

Ugh. Have some eye candy!

  2. Being sick is awesome as far as the weight-loss goes, but in the mean time it's not so fun! Hope they give you some meds so you can sleep through it all!

  4. Good lord that sounds so awful. I am just glad vomiting wasn't add to the list. I would totally hug you but I don't wanna get sick. Just kidding. *hugs*

    For sure, 140 is right around the corner.

  5. I know exactly the kind of illness you're describing, and it blows. I hope you feel better soon! You're doing really well otherwise, though.

    Love you!!
