The last time I was sick, it was a particularly rough bout of the flu. I remember waking up feeling achy and feverish, with a sore throat that made it difficult to swallow. As the day went on, my symptoms only seemed to worsen.
I spent most of the day curled up in bed, drifting in and out of a fitful sleep. My body felt heavy and weak, and every movement seemed to take an enormous amount of effort. I couldn't seem to shake the chills that racked my body, despite wrapping myself in layers of blankets.
I tried to stay hydrated and took some over-the-counter medications to help with the fever and congestion, but nothing seemed to bring me much relief. It was a long and miserable day, and I felt completely drained by the time evening rolled around.
Thankfully, after a few days of rest and plenty of fluids, I started to slowly feel better. But that last bout of illness was a stark reminder of just how awful it can feel to be sick. I was grateful for my health once I finally started to recover, and made a promise to take better care of myself in the future.
