Bronchitis

Everyone seems to be getting sick around this time, and I, unfortunately, am one of them.

Just a few short days ago I came down with bronchitis. Before I go on to the story, let me tell you what I have to do because of this. I have to have 150 ounces liquid daily, 3 pills at every meal, cough syrup 3 times a day, 3 advil 2 times a day. I have lost my appetite completely and now have lost 7 pounds over 3 days. The past few weeks I have been on a healthy eating diet to become healthier because of dance. I thought I could lose a few pounds for Nutcracker. But all it really took was getting sick.

Well anyways, I have been coughing so much, I have to drink water from coughing, and now I have to go to the bathroom 3 times every class. I think I finally know what it feels like to drown...

Well yesterday I was feeling better, so I decided I would go to dance practice, and it is the first week of practice, so I should probably go. I do just fine through ballet, even bette in tap, but then I hit a bump in the road. I go to jazz, and we workout. That was not the best idea. I started coughing again, and with every turn I had to sneeze. Then today I end up coughing and sneezing worse than before.

Every single one of my friends is afraid to come around because I cough, and if I cough too much I get sick. This whole viral infection is horrible.

Then because of all the sneezing, my nose is raw. Because of all the coughing, my throat is raw. Then because of all that together, allergies affected my eyes and I cant wear contact because my eyes are too itchy. Well, I keep rubbing my eyes and now my right eyelid is dry and hurts. Then because I cough more now, I pulled a muscle in my right rib cage, worse pain EVER!!

A couple of centuries ago you hear people pass blankets covered in chicken pox, well I think next we should use bronchitis, it will definitely make the enemy suffer so much more before they die.

All I have to say during this whole experience, "Keep my friends close, and my enemies closer..." to make them sick too...ha ha ha!
