Day 8: Relief
Aug. 8th, 2007 07:56 amYesterday I managed to go on a short walk to run an errand and I didn't completely collapse upon returning home--only a partial collapse. Today I think I am going to try to attend two semi-annoying lab safety refresher courses (they're not a very good use of time, so why not just get them out of the way when half-incapacitated anyway?). I also woke up thinking about school, which is a sign that it's time to get some work done.
But really, the best recent development has been the abatement of my horrible sore throat. It has improved enough that I was able to almost sleep through the night. I still woke up twice with a dried-out mouth (talk about an unpleasant sensation--ugh!), but all it took was a swig of water and I fell back into sweet, blissful sleep. There's still a bit of a tender spot, but I'm looking forward to being able to eat things other than mushy food.
