Getting over Illness
The illness that I posted about last week turned into something pretty serious. I was ordered to stay at home all week by my Dr., so I took advantage of the opportunity to catch up on sleep and let my body rest. I will admit, however, I started to go a little crazy being combined to my townhouse for five days! I seem to have recovered now, and it was great getting back to my office this morning. As I said in my post last week, illness always comes at the most inconvenient times – and last week was quite possibly one of my busiest weeks of the academic year. Fortunately, I work with an exceptional team of student leaders who were able to make sure that everything that I was lined up to manage last week was executed. This made my at home recovery go a little bit smoother.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to wash your hands, stay at home when you’re sick, and visit your doctor when you do feel like you are coming down with something. It could turn into something serious, so don’t let it go and take over your body. Embrace the illness and make your home on the couch when you’re sick – you’ll be happy you did.
