I hate being sick! It seems like every year around this time I feel the swell in my throat and the stuffiness in my nose. When I first came to CBU I was stressed that no one would be here to take care of me while I stayed in bed, however, that could not be far from the truth. It seems like girls are just sitting outside the door waiting for me to call on them so they can go get anything for me. Typically the things I like when I am sick: NyQuil, Sprite, Frosted Mini Wheats, popsicles, Saltine crackers, Excedrin, and Pride and Prejudice.
My good friend Ashleigh fully believes in the ice-cream remedy. Basically, you eat all the ice cream you can so that you forget about all your other symptoms and just focus on the stomach cramp. Sometimes I even think it works....
My roommate Hillary is the best nurse I could have ever asked for (that is second to my mom). Since my doctor is over 200 miles away, I make the trek to Riverside Community Hospital to sit in the waiting room for what seems to be hours just to see a doctor. Nevertheless, there is Hillary, sitting alongside me and asking the doctor all the questions I should be asking. My favorite thing about my nurse is she ALWAYS tries to feed me Airborne. Whatever the symptom, Hillary believes the best prescription is Airborne. (She even dressed up as a nurse once.)
So, here I am. Feeling sick again but with my nurse at my side and Airborne in my water. I’ll be alright!
IN OTHER NEWS:
Last night I was riding Josephine to the cafeteria when I heard a loud noise and when I looked down, the chain was hanging off! Stopping was a bit difficult and you can imagine my despair as I jumped off and evaluated the damage. I will be pricing new chains this week and hope after a little tender love and care she will be back to her old self. I will keep you updated.
