Like stepping through a fog, I think I’m finally emerging from this sickness. I finally broke down and saw a doctor because, after two weeks, I couldn’t shake the way I was feeling.
It took a little antibiotics, cough medicine and starting over to finally come through it. I have to admit that I don’t feel ‘well’ yet, I just feel like the medicine is suppressing the bad stuff and will appear again when I run out of medicine. I guess I don’t care because I’m feeling a lot better.
I like waking up in the morning and NOT feeling like total crap. I like NOT having a crushing headache and stifling body aches. It’s good to have an appetite again. I feel like I’ve lost about 20 pounds because I wasn’t eating anything there for a few days. When I did try and eat something I could only eat less than half.
Anyhow, I hope all that is coming to an end. Unfortunately, so did the football season. While I was sleeping 12 to 15 hours a day, 4 months of American football had its championship game as well as its all-star game. I watched both games, believe it or not. About 5 minutes after I saw Indy win the SuperBowl, I was dead asleep. I was feeling almost life-like the next week when Peyton Manning appeared in the Pro Bowl.
That’s how football is like a sickness: There are parts of it you don’t see, there is a lot of energy expended, there are good days and there are bad days and eventually you exit the other end with all your pieces and parts intact.
I admit that’s a weird analogy.
