Sickness Log
Day #1 (Wed, Dec 3):
Fever at over 103F. Doc gives me a poke in the bum and tablets for two days. Missed day #2 of LB/2003.
Day #2 (Thu, Dec 4):
Fever’s gone. I dress up and shower, intending to attend the Zope 3 Sprint starting today, but by 9:00 AM I find myself too weak to go anywhere. Sneezing fit starts. By the end of the day, I’m down to the bottom of a 100-pull box of tissues, still sneezing. Missed both day #1 of the Zope 3 Sprint and day #3 of LB/2003.
Day #3 (Fri, Dec 5):
Sneezing is in control but not fully stopped. Now I’m weak from having barely eaten the last two days. My nose has two stripes on it from where the sneezing ripped the skin off. Skip day #2 of the Zope 3 Sprint. By evening, my tongue starts to get bitter, meaning it’s time to eat something no matter what it feels like. Kishore and I head to Adiga’s in Arekere, where I have a khara bath and a bhel puri, both hopefully being easy on the stomach. An hour later, contents of stomach find their way to the sink. I feel much better, suddenly find myself able to run up and down stairs. I had to struggle to keep my balance earlier in the day. Mom and Dad return from Mysore just then. Mom looks at tummy and says it’s gas, not obesity. I happily agree. Skip dinner because I have trouble eating.
Day #4 (Sat, Dec 6):
Wake up with a clear head and unrestricted breathing. No more sneezing, but lots of phlegm. Looks like I will be able to attend the LJ meet today. Back to work for now.
