Sick, Sick, Sick

For 1 and 1/2 years, I have managed to steer clear of any bouts with cough, colds, sinusitis, fever, flu and other usual suspects in making my immune down. It is happening again. If someone sneezes near me and I will catch the flu. That's how frail my immune system has gotten these past few days.

I am trying my very best to eat well, exercise regularly, meditate to relax my mind, and keep myself warm when necessary. However, I just get sick easily unlike other people. I was so good for the past 1 and 1/2 years without any use of sick leave because I was fine but now, a month away from the end of the year and I have used 6 days already.

So, I am so sick of getting sick. I just hope I'll finish the year without anymore bouts with colds, cough, flu, sinusitis and whatever. I just want to be healthy like most people.

Another Trip To The Hospital Soon

I never liked the hospital atmosphere. I feel something sad and negative looming in the air whenever I am in a hospital. Even clinics scare me! I just cannot stand the smell, the sick people around me and the people in iguanamed scrubs walking past. I have to make another trip to the hospital soon for my check up. I just hope this time, the results will be okay even if I still have to lose a lot of weight. I just want to enjoy life without feeling pain here or there.

Non-practicing Nurse

I have a friend who is a registered nurse. I was a bit surprised to learn that she actually pursued the course because she was and still is afflicted with a heart ailment and asthma. I have seen her bouts with asthma and those were horrible. I felt so sad and sorry for her then.

So, I was really happy and surprised that she actually became a nurse. Albeit, she is a non-practicing professional who does not wear a nurse uniform as often as she would love.

I told her she can either continue her nursing degree by being a professor or a private nurse on call. At least that way, she can still practice what she learned from nursing school.
