Body parts and what not.

Random conversations with my boyfriend when I was sick.

I figured that the subtitle above was perfect and I couldn't help but include it in today's entry. So yes dear reader, I was sick since last Tuesday. I had a splitting headache, a fever and hyper-acidity. Anyway, me and my boyfriend tried to look for a diagnosis from the internet. All you have to do is type in your symptoms and they'll give you a list of your possible illnesses. I know, pretty lame but hey I couldn't afford a real check-up so bite me!

The internet came up with two possible illnesses. Meningitis and Encephalitis. Creepy huh? At the end however, we settled for Viral Meningitis, that's how it is with this type of check-ups. You get to choose what kind of illness you've got. Pretty cool, huh? :D

Viral Meningitis is actually very mild. It's like a common cold except that the headache is an absolute hell. So, back to my original plan. Here are my random conversations with my boyfriend. You have to excuse me, I was in a lot of pain. :)

Me: Meningitis? I have meningitis? Great! Starting today I'm going to live in a bubble. The pain is not worth living the high life.

Boyfriend: You do live in a bubble. It's called your immune system.

Me: Apparently, it's not bubbly enough!!

Boyfriend: You know, the meninges is supposed to protect your brain from the virus.

Me: Well, I guess I have pretty dumb meninges. They got themselves infected. How are they gonna protect my brain now?

After puking for the nth time...

Me: Oh, you must be really glad.

Boyfriend: Why?

Me: To have smarter meninges and a bubblier immune system.

I know, I know, dumb story. But hey, despite the pain and my puke-stained pajamas, I thought I was extremely clever.

P.S.

A friend said Viral Meningitis is not mild. My mistake... It was the internet's fault. I swear I ain't that dumb... :D
