Sickness

Ugg.. getting back to being healthy is such a long and arduous process.  I just wish it was like a storm out at sea, your in it, feeling terrible, hoping it will get better, praying for deliverance from what feels like your eternal suffering. And then the wind abates, the sun shines, and the boat is all fine and dandy.  Like flipping a switch, wonderful.  Not so with sickness.  I would characterize sickness as a slogging climb out of a filth and grim infested ditch,  as you climb you feel better because you seem to be escaping the worst of the unpleasantness, but once you get to the top you realize your surrounded on all sides by the isles of the cough, and you must now sally forth across those vast wastelands to reach the promised land of renewed vigor and health.  Taking care to not fall into further ditches of disease as you venture across to health.  And that journey my friends, blows, it blows hard chunks. So...Any who, after getting the flu and knocking the stuffing out of it, I'm attempting the journey to the promise land, lets see how far I get.
