That's what my nose is doing right now. Also, I may have cracked a rib I'm coughing so hard.
I woke up this morning and made another noble attempt to be productive. I cleaned my house, unpacked my car, cooked breakfast, and went to the gym. I decided to keep my PT appointment today because I could not lay in bed a second longer. I figured the best thing to do was sweat it out.
For the most part I was right. I told Q my equilibrium was off, and begged her to take it easy on me. If I was to do anything that required me to complete quick movements I may have passed out. She ended up putting me on my good friend the treadmill and jacked it up to level 20 and did interval cardio training. After finishing, I spent 30 glorious minutes in the sauna. I was happy to be out of the house and even happier that I felt better for the two hours I was there.
Unfortunately, the momentary lapse in sickness didn't stick. Once I stepped out the sauna, within 20 minutes I was back to feeling like complete hell. I sat at the smoothie bar chatting with Matt before heading home. He told me about a cold remedy they sell down at the Mexican grocery store that was the best he ever had. He even ran down there and grabbed me a box. Unfortunately, it hasn't done much in the way of making me feel better. On the upside, it has definitely dried me out and I'm coughing less... so I guess it's a small victory. I should have stuck with the yellow box instead of the blue box like he recommended. Silly advertising tricking me with their "cough suppressant". The original is always better.
