The value of good health
As I write this its been 5 days of pure misery. 5 days of being sub par at everything. 5 days of a nagging headache, running nose, itchy eyes, hacking cough and voice that could make John Mayer jealous. 5 days of being under the weather. Food tastes insipid, music sounds crass, and I almost could not hear my system even as it was playing at home theatre volumes. You look but you don't see, you walk, because your legs are taking you somewhere, you struggle to breathe because if you don't you feel like the world moves in slow motion. You regurgitate your meal, because you don't know you've eaten too much or because it was too little to sustain you. The throb in your head is so bad that banging your head against the wall is tempting. You feel like you are being teleported to work, you tweet, reply to emails as if its an out of body experience. People are talking to you or so it seems.Voices on the phone seem to be coming from another galaxy.
Then all of a sudden you start to convalesce. Things begin to change. You suddenly can hear the birds chirping clearly as your Eustachian tubes open, you can smell the overdose of perfume on your skin you tried to make up for the previous loss of smell, you feel the sunlight warming your skin, you look around and decide to do something about the stacks of papers on the desk, the floor that needs mopping and take out the trash. You gain spirit, take a bit of an apple, sit down at your computer happy that some normalcy is returning and that's when you truly understand the value of good health.
