There's a bear in there in Adventures in paradise

Today I woke up around 8:30am. I've got my blinds open to allow some fresh air in as I've been so cooped up in this tiny bedroom for what feels like forever now, and the sun was shining and it looked absolutely beautiful outside. I felt TEN times better than I did yesterday. I *didn't *feel immediately sick, have a headache, dizziness, fever or whatever the hell else I've been used to the last five days. I did however still have a cough, although the type of cough had changed. Previously it was one I could never properly clear, wheras now I could! Did this mean my body was finally at the last stages of this horrific fever by coughing out the last of it? My gosh I hoped so.

So today's been the first day since last Friday where I've actually felt more of a human than a zombie. Small mercies given the hell I've been through! The cough would calm down each time I took more of my cough medicine. I tell ya what, I wish this stuff wasn't prescription only. I can only take 10ml every 6 hours, but it's been a lifesaver. I've still got a lot of antibiotics to take, which I am definitely doing, as I'm not out of the clear yet.

I ate a couple more apples and oranges and another banana today and I had a cup of tea. I cooked a meat-pie also, but that tasted a bit weird. I also had a couple of crackers again. That's the most I've eaten in about a week. I think it's the apples I had yesterday that made me feel better today, but that's probably a placebo effect.

So yeah, I felt great. Then because I've been so used to staying virtually still and trying not to be sick, I went back to sleep and when I woke, it was night-time again and the temperature had started to drop :( And I'd turned off the heater because I prefer the normal day-time temperature over the constant blowing air, at least for a few hours because I want to get back to normal as soon as damn possible! So I didn't feel as great. I've noticed this. At night-time, I generally feel like shit. During the day, I feel much better.

I've already had text messages from my mother telling me to finish off my prescription and not just stop it if I feel better. Well I don't feel better yet, and I want to make sure this damn thing goes away.

My medical certificate is valid off work until Friday, which means I should be able to return Saturday night. I'm really hoping so too. Days off sick hardly feel like days off. Walking to the doctor and back was hell, and there's no way I've been able to buy groceries, which I badly need, especially if I'm gonna be getting food into me anytime soon.

I guess the good news is that today I felt better than yesterday, so hopefully that trend will continue.

Check out how much of a BEAR I've become :( ERGH. I have no idea why I put such shit photos of myself on Instagram.

I'm sorry about the shitty entries lately. I'm trying to get better and this just really. fucking. sucks.
