Ancient monsters imbodying human form are peak humor for illness to me. They're perceive as so wise and intelligent but the bastards tripping over themselves carrying remedies from all manners of centuries "IS IT THE BLACK DEATH??? DID THE PLAUGES RETURN TO YOU BELOVED?!? ARE YOU DYING ARE YO-" they trip over themselves before continuing "ILL KILL WHATEVER THIS IS BEFORE IT CAN T H I N K OF LAYING HAND NOR HIDE UPON YOURSELF!!!"and your just dying of laughter this whole time trying not to cough which prompts another round of concerned strained panic from your partner and the cycles continues

Omg yes!

Either they haven't caught up with the recent medicines/illness list or they forget what Earth year it is. They're just absolutely feral woth worry because the last time they visited the plagues were wiping out entire cities.

But imagine their skill in cooking tho! I just had a need for some really nice hot soup and these guys have been around for eons. So once you've calmed them down and explained you're not dying just really sick, they cook you up THE BEST soup and warm foods to help with your headaches and aching body.

Hey everyone! It's been a while and I felt like it was about time I drew something I've been sick for the last week which is what "inspired" this drawing

*sigh*

I could really go for some codeine right about now. This cough is killing me. But at least it’s giving my ab muscles quite the workout.

you know you're an introvert when you're slightly relieved to get gastroenteritis because it means you won't have to go to planned social events...

Thanks, everybody!

Thank you all for the well wishes yesterday! I am feeling great today compared to how I felt on Saturday.

Saturday started out normal enough - I took my kiddo to her soccer game, she did pretty well, so we stopped so she could get some ice cream as a treat. While we were waiting for her ice cream (this was about 9:30 am), my stomach started burning out of nowhere, and it hurt so bad. It felt as if I’d swallowed a lit lump of charcoal, because my stomach was on fire. This isn’t an unusual sensation lately, because I’ve been to the doctor regarding severe heartburn/indigestion. He’s pretty sure I have an ulcer, and I go in for an EGD on the 30th to confirm. But guys, this was so much more intense than my pain has been before. However, I headed home hoping it would pass soon enough like always. I took some of the meds the doctor prescribed, but I couldn’t keep them down. I couldn’t keep anything down, not even water. I spent the day curled up in a ball on the bed crying/trying to sleep until it went away. At around 5:30pm, the pain was just as bad as it had ever been, but I decided to take a shower ‘cause what the hell. In the shower, I started feeling light-headed and heard a rushing/roaring sound in my ears. I started seeing stars. I told my husband we needed to go to the ER. At the ER, they ran tests (good news, my liver, kidney, and gall bladder all work fine). I have a UTI, but the on-call doc said that’s not related. His best guess is that I picked up a stomach bug that caused the vomiting, which in turn aggravated my ulcer (assuming I have one, but we’ll find out). The light-headedness was from not being able to keep down food. He gave me IV fluids because I was dehydrated, anti-nausea meds, a potassium pill because I was low on it, and some morphine for the stomach pain. Once I was feeling better, I left the hospital with some antibiotics for the UTI. This was about 1:30am or so, so I didn’t get home until 2:30ish. My whole family was exhausted.

Sunday I felt much better, with the exception of an intense headache which lasted most of the day. I think that was a combination of the side-effects from the anti-nausea meds and me sleeping on my neck kind of weird. Today, aside from my neck feeling stiff, I am back to normal.

So once again, thank you all for your support! You guys are the best!
