Vulnerability.

Current mood: sick

Ever since I have lost so much weight, my body has been more subsessable to virus & sickness. I actually get sicker now that I am healthier than I did when I was massive. I'm not sure what is up with that. Maybe I just notice it more now that I don't have a lot of fat to conceal it.

Right now, I am waiting for my meds to kick in because I, sadly, have the flu. While typing this, I have a kleenex stuck in my nose and wondering if I spelled subsessable right. Probably not. I have slept 2 hours in the past 24. And I am one big, nasty heap of snot, slime & cough.

How is that for a visual?

My doctor is extremely nice. We have a good relationship. I have been seeing her since '02. She knows me. My reactions. And she praised me for my 11 pound weight loss since 2/5.

When she walked in, after sticking the swab up my nasal cavity and making me both cry and cough - she says "Oh, Tamela, you have the flu." I said "Ohhhh....suuuuugar." she smiled slightly. I retracted "I almost said a bad word there, sorry." she said "That would probably be my reaction too. Just plan on this week - staying in bed and drinking a lot." I responded with a deadpan "I need a drink." She laughed "Not that kinda drink. Juice. Lots of juice. And don't get around people."

Easy for her to say.

I have no idea how I got this. However, I was around a crap-load of people saturday at Crackel Barrel. Did you know that all of Smyrna eats at Crackel Barrel on saturdays? Yea, me either.

So, here I am. Runny nose & all. Today I have had an egg, a couple of curly fries & some oatmeal. I should eat more. But I am totally not interested.

I'd rather be asleep. But, I have too much crap in my nose to do that.

So, I'll just whine.

In a blog.

And beg someone to pet me.
