Body vs Mind 4 - 0

[martinemonster]

I have yet to win against my body. In the battle of wills, my body is still the stronger of us (though probably just because I have this large amount of people, yeah, you know who you are, who keep telling me to listen to what my body is telling me), and thus, I am on sick leave. Again. she wrote this announcement from her office, where she's not supposed to be, but she promises to leave it soon

I'm sure you're all dying to know what's wrong with me, so here goes: I coughed so hard I might have fractured (though not broken) a rib, and ripped a few muscle tendons(?)muskelfester, jeg vet ikke hva det heter på engelsk. Hjelp meg noen?. The doctor gave me big, strong painkillers and a new prescription for the sweet juice of life, cosylan, and told me I might have Pertussis kikhoste, a decease I thought was extinct. Lucky me. So now they tested me for it, patted me on the back and told me to hope that wasn't it, 'cause then there's nothing to do but wait it out. Oh, and he took lots of tests and sent me to take more tests tomorrow. So no rest for the wicked, I guess. Now, I just have to figure out how I'm going to pay for my medication with my grand total of 0,04kr in my bank account (for the Americans among you I would like to translate, but you have no currency small enough).

You know, if it wasn't horrible and painful and if I wasn't full of pity and all that, this would have been bordering to being so bad that it's just funny. But as it's painful and stuff, I'd rather say get better and not give you a hug as that probably hurts

True, but it is starting to become funny...

[mirazandar.livejournal.com]

yah.. it is. Drink cosylan like this now. *points to icon*

noone becomes morphinists these days. it's almost sad. I've always wondered what physcal effects it gives you. The heroinists get the knees, drunkards gets red face, port-drinkers gets the nose, weed-smokers make drum circles and place statues of buddha everywhere and get a hollow laughter... but hte morphinists?

You know, you're right, I don't know that. Maybe that's my purpose in life...hmmm, interesting. I love that buzzed feeling you get from drinking too much cosylan after all! ;)

I know; I am a bad person but I can not help my self..

I TOLD YOU SO! ;)

And then; A LOT A LOT A LOT of pitty! and hugs! :)

Yeah, you did, and I didn't want to listen, but I'm sure it's good I did. :( *sulk yet again* But now I got painkillers! ;)

[lurvelille.livejournal.com]

*sending you imaginary vegetablesoup ala Sol (its famous you know) to make you feel better and get well soon*

oh; funny pills; funny...!

Poor thing! Now pleasy stay in bed and get well. I have loads of tv series and comics you should read; enough to keep you occupied. If you go to work again before you're well, I'll (as previously mentioned) eat your eyeball.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

But I was supposed to be well when I went back! The doctor told me the coughing would go away on its own and I should go back to work. Not my fault it didn't work, blame my body! It hates me! But I'm staying home...

You sure it wasn't just me beating you with the baseball bat? you sure it was the coughing? You on sick leave. Is kikhoste (peepcough) contagious? Hanne just told me it was. But not anymore maybe. Anyway, I don't feel like hitting myself in the ribs anytime soon, so umm... if I get sick let's just hope I don't splinter anything okay?

Hmm... I like the fact that I actually without meaning to, somehow turned this into being about me. Well, yeah. cause it's all about me. Okay? Smoochies. Drop by tomorrow, hm?

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Sure! We'll totally hang tomorrow...though this is a house of death! (martin's got the flu)

And yeah, it's very contagious, but only if you don't treat it with antibiotics, which they did, twice, so I was never actually contagious. :) Basically it just means that there's nothing more they can do and I just have to wait it out (oh, and that I have to get into some sort of registry where they show that I'm part of this epidemic or whatever)

*laughs whilst humming in head*

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Oh shut up, your life is PG-13! How sad is that?
