severely sick with a bad cold...

sorry i haven't updated this blog in a while, my cold got worse after the marron ice cream that fateful Sunday when we all got together for dinner... the cough turned into a loss-of-voice, runny-nose, congestion, cough after i came back to california...

dragging my body throught the powerwalk of 13.1 miles and a hockey game was borderline abusive (but i had commited to the half for 6+ months i can't bear to not have gone) then i stirred fry some veggies and shrimp with LOTS of garlic (10 cloves) without giving it a thought... i think my body was on the way to collapse from all the physical exhaustion and weak from the severe cold, then the garlic was very acidic since it wasn't cooked long enough to temper it.
anyways, since last week my tummy's been queasy and nausating...
so bad that i missed more than half of work... i've slept from 12 to 20 hours a day... my body's screwed up... i wake up 3am or 6am feeling a bit hungry or queasy...

once i eat anything (and i've been watching what i eat) it seems my body overworks to digest the food and i feel a sour taste in my mouth...
i've been off coffee for 2+ weeks - and haven't gone shopping once (that's how sick i have been!)

today i feel slightly better, i took zantac from my doctor friend T.'s advice, i bought tums and softchew antacids so i'm prepred...

it's been humbling being sick again. at least my cold/cough is 90% gone. but when the tummy's not feeling well it feels like the whole world is darkened and all i wanted to do is crawl into bed and sleep so that when i wake up i'd feel better...
hopefully the antacid will bring my tummy back to normal and i won't feel sick anymore... just wanted to update.. i miss u all.
