Sickness often times comes up and attacks when you least expect it too.
As soon as you can’t breathe out of both nostrils and your throat feels like you’ve swallowed blades, you know it’s happening. You’re sick. You just have to accept your fate. I’ve been sick for the last week and I’ve gone through each stage of sickness that I’m about to discuss.
It seemed like a fitting choice to explain the stages using the Parks and Recreations cast. Enjoy!
Stage 1- Denial Of Sickness
In this first stage of sickness, you can find yourself starting to feel the sick symptoms. You try to ignore it but the sickness is creeping up on you everywhere.
Stage 2- Slow acceptance
In the second stage, you can no longer deny that you’re sick. The sick symptoms start building up all at once. You think your body is too weak to handle what’s about to come next
Stage 3- It's happening
The third stage is when the sickness is full-on happening. You can’t sleep because your nose is running all over your pillow, you can’t stop coughing and waking up everyone around you. You try and take as much medicine to stop the sickness from taking over.
Stage 4- Agony
In stage four, you’ve had the sickness for a few days and nothing is getting better. You can’t go to class and you’ve only been out of bed to use the bathroom. You feel like every part of your body is aching and hurting.
Stage 5- Deathbed
The stage five of sickness. This picture explains itself.
Stage 6- Eventual healing
In stage six, you feel like you’ve made it and are turning on the upwards side of things!
