So this is the first time I drop sick ever since Mom passed away 4 months ago. After day and night working on my thesis, all those late night Church rehearsals, and chaotic family feuds between my brother and my dad (which then lashed out on me), I've finally broke down with a cough, sore-throat, flu, and fever combo.
I feel like one of those students who go to school abroad and gets sick overseas, who have no one to take care of them. It's scary because I can't even contact my family, since my brother can't care less for these things and my dad's on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Somehow I suddenly feel like an orphan.
Knowing the fact that there's no one whom you could really talk to is worse than the sickness itself. My health has had worse, and I've taken care of myself numerous times before, but it's not as bad as when you know someone's there in case you need anything urgent. Now I can't even do as simple as "call" or email my Mom, since she's no longer alive. It's like playing those arcade games with no credits left.
You're simply on your own now.
No back ups this time.
Ergh... That's no fun. The best I can suggest for a cold is chicken soup and orange juice, not necessarily at the same time mind you :D If I'm not going anywhere, I'll add a shot of vodka to the OJ, but I know you don't like the stuff.
ReplyDeleteI sort of understand about the communication thing too. I was at an out-of-state college once and I didn't have cell phone or internet for two months, so I was on my own in a place I didn't really know. It sucked royally, but thankfully it didn't last long.
Hang in there, and if you want you can PM my main FA, I'm on there a lot.
Unfortunately for me, I think I'll have to suck it in because like it or not, this situation isn't about to change soon. Although I do hope my health will recover soon, heh heh.
Delete...gosh this is mentally excruciating =_=
