Pleurisy

[House of Mustard]

Right.  Coughing is the usual cause of pleurisy, but coughing is not a symptom of pleurisy.  As far as that goes, the only symptom of pleurisy is severe chest pain (and back pain).

And it's driving me freaking insane.  I thought it was getting better, but it's all back today.  I sneezed this afternoon, and it brought me to my knees, literally.

That's no fun!  Down will illnesses.

Speaking of illness, my roommate has the stomach flu.  I think this is one of the most pernicious of all temporary ailments, mostly because I hate throwing up.  If I get this bug I'm going to languish and die.  

Okay, probably not, but still.  I'm going to lysol my apartment now.

So I don't have pleurisy, but I'm sick today. Slept most of the morning, and now have been sitting around trying to entertain myself and/or get some work done. Didn't go sing in the Christmas concert tonight. So I'm getting to the point of boredom. Okay, past it. I just want to sleep, but that's all I've been doing all day, it seems. Ug.

Anyone want to look over my little essay for my scholarship application? Probably not the best thing to try to be preparing, when I'm not thinking clearly.

Gotta be better than the the essay I wrote for UVA

One of our agents asked to go home mid-Saturday morning because she was having trouble breathing.  Her teamlead asked what was wrong and she said she had pleurisy.

"Oooh," I said.  "That's nasty!"  Then I explained to her team lead what it was.  All thanks to Mustard that I know.

My pleasure.  I'll complain about my health problems any time.

Speaking of which, the coughing is all but gone, but the chest pain remains.  The new theory is that I've torn a muscle.
