When you are younger and you get sick, its almost like a holiday. As an adult, its anything but. As a kid you are waited on hand and foot. You got to watch The Price is Right, drink 7-Up, and ear the almighty Chicken Soup with saltine crackers. As an adult you wander around your house aimlessly. Searching for whatever comfort you can find. If you are hungry, you have to find the food and cook it yourself. With a raging fevor as hot as the skillet you are cooking in. Then you have to doctor yourself up, eat your food which is probably burned because you were zoning out in a sickness induced fevor dream.
As a kid, the passing of time had no bairing on you. As an adult you look at the clock and realizing that your days are flying by. You contiune to worry about bills, getting back to work, and everything between. I am a bit of the both. I am a single adult, who doesn’t work due to medical retirement, and I watch the days tick by. At the time or writing this, its been 6 days since I started getting sick. Im constantly tired. My fevor comes and goes, and all the food in the house needs to be cooked and I have no staminia to make any of it.
In short, I wish I was still at home being looked after by my grandmother or my mom. I dont want to be an adult right now lol. But what do you do, but get better as fast as you can and get back to life right?
