The fourth time! The
fourth time this year…
1) February - stinking cold; teacher-pressure to attend a
parent’s evening despite being visibly ill and contagious.
2) April - Sinusitis; a full-blown face infection that
properly k’od me. I felt R.O.U.G.H
3) August - a strange 24hour sickness bug that brought me to
my knees and lifted just as quickly.
4) November - Sore throat on Thursday, that has now morphed
into (yet) another head cold.
Four times this year.
But, TBH, I usually get three illnesses a year. Is this
normal? Do Nurses experience something similar tending to the sick? If so, I
never hear it. I simply have to do something about my immune system…I am
pig-sick of feeling like this. Sure, when you’re a teacher, you stand in front
of 6 x 30 students (all facing towards you) on a daily basis, and frequently
the sneezes and spluttering are never caught in even a mildly preventative
manner. They introduced flu-jabs at my
old school for the first time four years ago. But, is it still normal to be
this ill? I have become so resigned to catching a bug or ten that I have coined
a new phrase:
‘Another term, another germ.’
32 days of feeling crap (so far).
After I get shot of this virus, I am actively seeking ways
to strengthen my immune system in preparation for my new year’s
resolution: Go a full year without
sickness.
Any advice, anybody?
