Permutation and Combination of being Sick

Someone asked me, "You look sick, I mean aren't you keeping well?" I could only reply, "Yes, I'm sick, cos am unwell." Another question, "Why did you visit a doctor? are you unwell or something?" No damn it, I'm a medical sales rep and trying to convince the doc to prescribe his patients on this new self-stimulus condom. Tell me, why would I be in the loo, if I dont feel crappy/pissy, when i'm not a plumber? - I know some people play games there.

You know, you start getting weird and funny questions when you wanted to answer the least. I guess the normality curve of your looks changes as soon as the virus gets into you. But like Blair has a Bush, sickness too has its own pros and cons - these are just a few that comes into my mind at the moment:

• Sneezed 113 times in a single night till the whole tummy aches -- Not a single musquito, cockroach or lizard's dare to be in your room.
• Body temp went up and you flip and turn the entire night trying to get some sleep -- You are the 'Hot Guy' once in a blue moon.
• Covered from head to toe, and more clothes to wash -- You get to used that dusty old winter jacket from your wardrope and look 1.5times your weight and above all save power; in the process, less effect on the Global warming (is it so?)

But, two days in bed was not fun (I wonder what pleasure Kumbhakaran gets for six months) - so you decided its time to teach these viruses a lesson. Take an appointment and time to see a doc. Man what a scene - when you left home, you felt you are the only one who's in such a pathetic state, but when you reach that small chamber, and hundred people waiting to greet you, yes to greet me (at least I can see it in their eyes), you could feel at least 98.4% better - But you are here, see the doc anyways.

Everything's alright, all things are intact, just to be sure get these few tests done and come back with the reports. Few tests are CBC, CNBC, BBC, LST, LFT, LJT, LIFO, FIFO, parasites, termites, urine, X-rays, Ultra-sound... (blood, urine, light, sound, air, insects - anything's left?). Well, like what Lord Tennyson said, "Ours not to make reply, Ours not to reason why, Ours but to do and die (live for me)"

Test reports are out - Doc said that its a foodborne liver infection and here are few things you should avoid in the coming days - booze, smoke, non-veg, outside foods, spicy foods, office foods, stress, chocolates/milk, anything that has fat content in it - you call these, few? Am I not sick enough to be deprived from my normal life? But all I could say was, 'Thank God, I still can have water.'

Few days went into weeks, and months and you are really sick (of your current status) and started getting paranoid on anything that used to be food until a few weeks ago. Then battery of tests, doc's appointments, tablets, capsules - looks like its never going to end... But, sooner or later you learn not to race against time and just go with the flow, then everything's back to normal.

Note: discovery of the season - ULTRA-SOUND is something you see, not something you hear.
