Urk...I want to get better so I can get on with my life...five days of this stomach virus...I'm about at my wits' (wit's?) end. Why can't the clinic just prescribe me something so I don't feel like I'm suffering for nothing?

On top of that, once again, I thank my professor for being so understanding, but it's hard to do schoolwork when you're sick for so long....

Pls encourage me?

EDIT
Oh, one other thing. Just weighed myself. I seem to have lost five to ten pounds as a result of this. Not as bad as I feared, but dammit I wanna eat!

EDIT EDIT
Maybe this will be a good primer to how I'm doing. Started this chat at 3:15 this afternoon.

Si M: Hello?
Jagoth: I'm here.
Si M: Phew!
Si M: Thought I'd just missed you.
Jagoth: If it sets to Away I'm uasually sitting here I just let my keyboard go idle.
Si M: Oh. Well, I'm glad to see you.
Jagoth: same to you. brb
Si M: Well when you get back, got a slew of good news and bad news.
Jagoth: Back
Si M: Good news is that after going in today and explaining to my boss what's up (that I went to the clinic, have a stomach virus, etc.), he let me go early without incident.
Jagoth: Good to hear. What else?
Si M: Also, my professor has given me an extra three days, making the deadline August 23, which I am sure I can meet.
Jagoth: Great I am sure you can to.
Si M: *smiles* I also have tomorrow off anyway, and I need every bit of time I can get.
Jagoth: Work on it but also be sure to rest.
Si M: I know. Now, the bad news. First and foremost, I'm still sick, as you might see in my journal. I woke up at 4 this morning with a stomach ache, and at 4:45 I really had to...go.
Jagoth: You'll get better soon.
Si M: After that, I just couldn't fall back asleep. Pepto was no help, which is a sure sign that some bad shit's going on, forgive the pun.
Si M: Pepto is like a cure-all for tummy problems.
Jagoth: I know.
Si M: Sorry if I'm interrupting.
Jagoth: It's okay.
Si M: Well, so I spent the next couple hours with a stomach ache wanting for all the world to fall back asleep.
Jagoth: Jese I do hope you get better soon/
Si M: I got up and got ready for work at about 7, which is what I'd usually do with an 8:30 start time, though since I couldn't stomach anything but Gatorade, I had not a damn thing to do but kinda sit and be miserable for an hour.
Jagoth: Sleep in tommorow. You're going to need it.
Si M: Don't I know it. So on the way to work, I didn't feel quite as out of it as I have been these mornings. Just kinda...blah.
Jagoth: well it's a good sign.
Si M: Could be better, but I guess. Again, I arrived, told my boss what's up, he let me go home.
Jagoth: I understand why.
Si M: So the whole day so far, I've been in a state of tiredness, from just a little hazy to dozing off intermittently.
Jagoth: Have you been eateing?
Si M: It's always the mornings that are the worst, but I have this feeling of weakness. Like, I have to help my sister start our lawn mower...oh. Um, no, but I am getting a little hungry. I'm giving it a little time to build.
Jagoth: Well eat something today okay.
Si M: I will. I got a lot of soup yesterday.
Jagoth: Okay
Jagoth: And I know what you mean. A couple of months ago I got an infection and when I got up in the morning I was the worst.
Si M: So anyway, I always have to help my sister start the lawn mower, cuz I'm the family pack mule...oh, yeah, mornings blow.
Jagoth: Very. Anyway go on.
Si M: Heheh, it's actually kinda funny.
Si M: But anyway, I can usually pull the mower out with no problem. Today, though, I had to put my back into it.
Jagoth: I do hope you get better soon.
Si M: Not as much as I do. I've had all I can take. I want to get back to my life.

Jagoth: I understand what you mean. And you will eventually.
Si M: Eventually isn't soon enough. I have things to do. Very urgent things.
Si M: Yes, some can be done when sick, but damn if it's not easy.
Jagoth: Take care of yourself and it will be sooner then later.
Si M: *sigh* I know....
Jagoth: Things will get better I know they will.
Si M: Yeah...well for now I just thank whoever's listening that some things are going my way again.
Jagoth: I know. ANd I'm glad that they are.
Si M: That reminds me...would you mind if I used portions of our chat logs in my journals to illustrate what's up in my life?
Jagoth: Not at all.
Si M: ^_^ You're so nice.
Jagoth: lol
