On The Road To Recovery
It's been a week since I started feeling sick, but after days of roller coaster health and lots of medicine, I finally think I'm on the road to recovery. My strep throat is gone, but some of the coxsacievirus is still on me with the bumps. Thankfully, it's gone from the inside of my mouth, so I can eat again without feeling pain. There's still some on my face, but in time, it will hopefully be gone. I suppose I should be grateful just to be healthy though, since I know lots of people have it worst. Now that I'm close to 100% again, I'm ready to start doing the things I love again, such as hanging out with my friends, and preparing for what lies ahead.

Sick
Being alive for 22 years, I've had my fair shares of sickness and viruses like anyone. As a child, I liked being sick since I missed school, but the older I got, the less fun it was. Sure, I'd miss school, but I'd feel miserable and not be productive, which is never a good thing. For the past few years, I've taken pride in the fact that I haven't been sick besides a few upset stomach's, but that streak ended today as I found out I was sick with two different things.
The first thing I found out I have is this thing called coxsackievirus. I know the name sounds ridiculously funny, but believe me, it's no joke since it caused bumps on my hands and feet. The other thing I have is more common, which is strep throat. I've researched both extensively and gone to the doctor, yet I have no idea how I caught both of these. It's a shame since I could one day catch these again, but at least I figured out what I had since I had been feeling sick since my last post on Monday. Whenever I usually have an announcement and feel terrible, I take time off from blogging, but this time, I won't because there's nothing else to do. And I mean that literally since I'm contagious. I may be down, but I'm certainly not out, so I will keep on blogging even though I'm sick. I just pray I get better since it sucks not being able to go outside or eat, and I want to enjoy my last month of summer before going back to school.
With that all being said, does anyone have any suggestions/tips on how to get through this? I could use all the help.
