Pic of the day: I don't feel too well either, but at least I don't have a fever. Poor Tenko from Kamisama Kazoku, she is plagued by steam coming out of her head. I just feel like it, it doesn't actually happen.

Icky sicky

The heat is not relenting. Not really. I could take a walk in the evening, but although it was barely half an hour, I came home short of breath. It reminded me of my childhood asthma, but not quite. It seems I have some kind of silent bronchitis or pneumonia. For now my cough is dry, but there is definitely something wrong down there. And it is almost certainly the same bacteria that have already taken over my nose, sinus and throat, covering them in drying sticky green goo. Now the turn has come to my bronchies. I am not happy about this. But as long as there's no fever, I'm unlikely to get antibiotics for it. It would also be preferable if I could get over it on my own. Each time we use antibiotics, there is a chance that resistancy will occur and spread.

I am not willing to die to save the world from multi-resistant bacteria, but I guess a few days of coughing may be acceptable. The slightest fever though, and I'm off screaming for a doctor.

And yeah, my digestion is acting up too. Perhaps the bacteria have come there too? Or is it just the change in diet because of the heat?
