Sick

Being sick isn’t fun. Feeling like you have a weak immune system and are constantly getting sick, makes it ten times worse.

I had strep like 5 days before Christmas and that was rough. This felt like strep on Tuesday afternoon with an awful sore throat and having pain when swallowing. I saw my doctor to make sure it wasn’t strep and if it was, again, to be on antibiotics for it.

Surprisingly, the strep test came back negative but the my doctor gave me antibiotics anyway, thankful for that. A student doctor saw me first and she said my tonsils were huge, which I totally believe with how much it hurts to swallow…

I get sick so easily, whether it’s a cold or sinus infection or something else going around. It’s hard to be sick so often. I wish I knew why my body was and is so prone to sickness.

I really appreciate the people who have reached out to check on me or have brought things over. But it still really sucks to be sick by yourself. I have zero energy to do much else besides sleep and be off the couch for a couple minutes before I feel weak again. Getting myself food and making myself eat is hard enough right now. Having someone to help with that and all the house work I didn’t get done before Tuesday night, would be so nice.

Maybe it’s my physical touch love language or that I haven’t seen people since Wednesday night. But I’m tired of being sick by myself and I’ve done enough of that over the last 4 years – Covid different times, stomach flu, sinus infections, pneumonia, and gallstones.

Eating soup and drinking juice was not how I planned to spent this Friday night. Sad and disappointed that I had to give up yet another friend event because I don’t feel good and don’t want to get others sick either…

God, you are good and faithful. I know those things and I’ve seen them. But tonight my head and heart are heavy. Please bring healing to my body and answers soon too.
