How to be sick
Anything doing is worth doing well, right?
To that end, I have given myself over to my cold. Denying it would mean going through the next few weeks functioning at a lower level while feeling worse than usual... I intend to go through the next few days barely functioning at all, but giving my body whatever it needs to get back to 100% health.
A routine has come with it: I wash down my chinese herbs with Emergen-C. Then I dissolve some homeopathic tabs under my tongue. I finish up with some zinc & herb lozenges. At least once a day I have a handful of walnuts (for cough).
So, I have Eastern alternative meds, Western alternative meds, Western mainstream meds, Western vitamins, and Eastern nutrition. Take that, rhinovirus!
Now, back to bed to read Thich Nhat Hanh so I can learn how to love my cold.
