Icky Sick Days Cont'd

A continuation of my self centeredness, but I didn't want to leave you hanging there with a few random pieces of information. OK so where did i leave off? Thursday? Thursday: Missed the H.P. practice and stayed home from  the one on Friday as well. My director was really nice about me missing the practices, and hoped I was feeling better.I still had a slight fever on Saturday, I was constantly having coughing fits and could not: dear me: if you heard me sing on Saturday. I was laughing at myself it was so bad, and sadly, I can't do that very often.So I stayed home from the all day practice on Saturday and viewed the concert from the extra tickets we had since my other set of grandparents couldn't come, my grandpa was sick. The show was spectacular. Olympic figure skater Todd Eldridge performed with our local skating group ( which had one of my friends in it.. Kinda cool to see your friend jumping and twirling in the air). Actor John Goetz ( pronounced Gets) read THe Night Before Christmas aloud. Some really good Grammy nominated trumpet player performed with our local Symphony Orchestra. I really didn't mind watching and not performing. I really didn't. It was kind of fun to see what we sounded like and things like that. Saturday I had developed a nasty sounding congestion cough. It didn't hurt though. I stayed home from church in the morning, but went back to the later praise service. That night I really feel like I had kicked it. Guess not. On Monday still, I had a fever, sop no school on Tuesday either, thanks to a new school policy. I had a concert for school choir on Tuesday , but hopefully I don't have to make up the whopping 250 points. My fever went back up on Tuesday night to 102.something. We went into the doctors' early Wednesday morning (we only had a two day week of school for Thanksgiving Break) and I had something called Sinus Bronchitis.  It is just a more congested Bronchitis. Anitbiotics and cough medicine. I pleaded the doctor for the cough medicine to be in  pills. I cannot STAND cough medicine. That medicine is worse than the sickness. Anyways, I am feeling better and am on the mend, but still working on that nasty sounding cough. I  just realized I could have summed that up in  two sentences.

Icky Sick Days

I was  very impressed with myself for the first quarter of school: No absences. I'm usually sick three or four days a quarter. The past week I've been feeling like this: Some days you're just not feeling quite right, and you just say to yourself: I'm gonna be sick tomorrow! I happened to tell my dad this on Monday night. Hmmm... : ). SO i woke up on Tuesday morning with a fever of 102.8 degrees. So I don't go to school. Today i was fine until about 4th period and i just felt like i as going to vomit, my throat was scratchy, it hurt to breathe a little. The whole deal. So I don't eat anything, and don't talk, afraid of throwing up. Today was a day 2, so I have gym. This was my main worry for today. Our gym teacher had a new rule- if everyone in class dressed our for 5 days in a row, we could take a break for a period and vote on what game we wanted to play. Of course, the games I hate were in the top 2. (dodge ball and kick ball) Normally I would be mildly OK with this (about 40% OK; less than half. Just to give you a numerical view. My brain usually thinks in numbers. ) , but this is a game with lots of running, which feeling you're about to throw up running isn't the best solution. So, my gym teacher can tell I'm not feeling OK so he sends me to the Nurse. We have a substitute nurse, my lucky day. ( just kidding, i love the nurse, so friendly) This nurse shouldn't be a nurse.  She acted like she was just vomited on. She kept saying," You shouldn't be here today" According to a new school policy that nobody's heard of, you can't go back to school unless you have been symptom free for at least 24 hrs. So no school tomorrow either. Poor wittle me! I am in the Holiday Pop's children choir, and we have practices this Thursday, Friday, and about the whole day Saturday, the day of our concert. (November 22nd, 7:00 pm I wireless center in Moline. :)) Hopefully I'm feeling better by the practices, and the concert! I totally just realized how self centered this post is. Oh well, something for me to write and you to read!
