Yeah, it’s pretty clear that I got a little too close to the edge of the slippery slope…and now I’m paying the price.
My wonderful nurse friend tells me that the renewed coughing, increased tiredness, copious amounts of phlegm, and an eye that suddenly turned all red and congested are very likely signs of a relapse. Probably requiring more antibiotics.
Sigh.
I don’t know for sure that a relapse could be caused by a few nights without enough sleep, but my intuition tells me that Divine Mother is trying to get me to fully understand the extreme importance of rest.
I’ve been slow to learn the lesson, but I do believe it’s getting through my thick head this time.
