Terrible Patient

I hate being sick. Because I hate it so much I often don't spend the time I need to get better. This sickness is a little different, as I don't have a really runny nose. I have a lot of junk sitting on my vocal folds, and very little of it seems to be shaking loose when I cough. I always worry I am going to get pneumonia again. I have had it twice in my adult life (once when I was 22 and once when I was 25). When I was 25 they kept me in the hospital overnight- I was a terrible patient. I was up at 5:00 AM strolling around asking when the doctor could sign me out. I got cranky, although I felt bad for being cranky. At any rate, this doesn't quite feel like pneumonia did- the previous two times I got pneumonia I would get pounding headaches and when I would cough I could feel my heart rate shoot up. This just feels like there is junk in my chest.

The rest of this morning will consist of studying and preparing music.
