I am not well
It started more than a week ago with my traditional stomach ache. Now that very special ache usually puts me in bed for 3 to 4 days but this time I managed to get on my feet sooner even though I wasn’t feeling perfect yet. A day after I had stood on said feet I started getting flu symptoms (thankfully not fever). These started to go away on Friday with feeling of nausea (probably left over from my stomach ache) and a shooting pain in my right eye. Since then, the flu stuff have started to calm down but the pain in my eye is getting worse. What used to be just my right eye hurting has now turned into something more. The pain has now spread to most of the right side of my head and it even hurts when I bite, bend in any direction and cough (which is horrible).
I know I should go see a doctor but I can’t. I have too much to do and I can’t afford to take any time out to be medicated, sedated, operated or whatever might happen if I were to go see a doctor to find out what’s wrong with me. I will go on Thursday after I have handed in my coursework. Let’s hope that my ears don’t fall off by then or something.
At the moment I believe that most of this (if not everything I just mentioned) is stress related and that my body can’t handle the pressure and is giving out but we’ll see.

Well, I just have to say you should see a doctor and leave it at that. Other than that, drink lots of fluids and take some tylenol.
Get better.

I learned the hard way about four years ago what happens when you ignore the body though. I would say, “oh I’ll call at the end of the semester” or “oh I’ll call after this exam”. You don’t want to know what happened after two years of that…
Please take care of yourself
