Weekly Wrap-Up #43 - When You're Sick
1. How often do you get sick? Are there particular times of the year when this happens? If so, when? Don't get sick all that often. At least not lately (*knock on wood*). But if I do get sick it's usually in the dead of winter, or in autumn/spring when the weather is going from warm to cold or visa versa.
2. Do you go to the doctor when you're sick? Why or why not? If it's serious yes, but if it's just a cold or a flu type thing I don't.
3. What comfort things and/or foods do you seek out when you're sick? Why? Ginger Ale, Tea, Soup, Toast. I tend to lose my appetite a bit when I get sick so I go for simple things.
4. Do you take medication (prescription or over-the-counter) when you're sick? Why or why not? If it can help lessen the symptoms, you betcha! :)
5. How long do you stay typically stay sick? Do you stay home or do you go out and/or work? Why or why not? Depends on what it is. If I'm really sick, not just the sniffles or whatever, I will stay home from work. I personally feel that if I don't take the time off when I'm only a bit sick, it just gets worse and hangs on forever. But that's also not always an option either :)
