COPD means that I am vulnerable to illnesses such as colds and coughs, viruses and bugs. My career choice of working with children doesn't help but it's my dream job and there's nothing in the world I'd rather do. However there are two weeks in the uni calendar I know I will be poorly -Week 2 of semester 1 and week 2 of semester 2.
The end of last week I felt the sore throat kicking in and I knew where this was going. So I'm cuddled up in bed, eating ice cream ( to soothe a red raw throat) feeling a bit sorry for my self.
However my sick day won't be totally wasted as I will continue to to work on my final year dissertation project and do my homework.
If anyone has any tips on how to shift this cold a bit quicker I will try most things :)
