The adventures of a male nurse navigating through life, staying fit, surviving the journey.

Dear Virus

Posted by Sean on February 6, 2009

I know you have a tough job.

Yes, my wonderful immune system is as stubborn as it’s host. We’re  not going down without a fight.

It seems you and I keep having many battles during your stay within the confines of my system. Some hours of the day I feel ‘better’, in fact I’m borderline feeling ‘great’.

Then other times during my day  I feel as if there CANNOT be any more SNOT in my body that I need to blow out of my nose! The endless flow of secretions really becomes annoying. I also really hate how I feel like a ‘Bobble-head’ toy, or better yet I look like a newborn baby when I sit down… BECAUSE I’m having a REALLY difficult time keeping my head upright. Why does my head feel like a 500 lb medicine ball?

Dear Virus, can I ask you a favor?

Can you quit hopping down the middle of the road? Can you pick a side? Either give my immune system all you got, or GIVE UP.

I’d be happy if you would either just knock me down for the count. Put me out. I’d enjoy spending my days sleeping my illness away due to a lack of energy.

Or I’d be happy kicking the living shit out of you, so that I can move on with feeling normal again.

Please choose.

Thank You

Carpe Diem
