Being sick sucks

So last week was supposed to be a deload week from training. Started off like that but it turned out a whole lot worse.

Woke up on Tuesday morning feeling a bit rough, had a tickly throat and a bit of a cough. Then on Wednesday after not much sleep, I went to work with no voice, earache and feeling like shit. I was told to go home at lunch time and managed to get an appointment to see the doctor. A quick look down my eartubes and then a look down my throat and i was prescribed some penicillin and told to go home and rest.

Thursday was by far the worst day I have had in a long time. After no sleep at all, I spent the rest of the day moaning, puking, coughing, grumping and then puking some more.

The drugs seemed to kick in really quickly as by Friday night I was able to get a few hours sleep ready for Santa.

Christmas day was great with the family. Kids were fantastic, getting Santa presents, then a visit from my folks and sister and brother in law, then Jackies mum and dad and sister came for Christmas dinner. Jackie made a fabulous dinner, which I was only able to eat a little bit of.

Over the last week I have lost about 9 or 10 pounds in weight due to lack of appetite, puking and having little or no food. First time in history I have LOST weight over Christmas

The plan for training is too take the rest of this week off and start back slowly next monday.
