Surprise Illness


The human body has the amazing ability to forget illness. Once healthy, you will find it hard to remember that your nose felt like it was on fire whenever you blew it but dripped constantly if you didn't.

You forget the way you felt your brain slosh around whenever you moved your head, or the way your muscles constantly ached despite a lack of body activity. You forget the horrid croak of your voice and the itchiness that sits forever in your throat.

Because you feel better and are metaphorically walking on sunshine now, your body forgets that it was ever in such a state. And for all the times you remain a picture of health this is only a good thing. Why remember something negative when you can just get on with your life?

It all begins to suck when you get ill again. Your nose is leaky or on fire and you body aches. You've forgotten all this in the months of health, so it all comes as a nasty surprise.

So I'm lying on my sofa, very surprised at all the things that are happening to my body. It was sunny today and I've got a ton of work to do.

So the human body also has the amazing ability to get ill at wholly inappropriate times.

Sucks to be me.
