Every Time I Get Sick, I Start To Worry About Bedsores.

Genuinely, sometimes I will go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet until my legs fall asleep just so that I'm not laying in bed. 

And like honestly I'm sure this springs from an incredibly lacking and misguided knowledge of said bedsores--I have no idea what they look like or how long it takes to get them or, to be honest, what they really are beyond a vague definition that my mother gave me once.

But inevitably every time I'm sick for more than a day or two I start to worry that my flesh is going to decay around my back and sides. I have nightmares, I wake up in a cold sweat and urgently run my hands everywhere I can reach to make sure my body is still intact. It's scary.

Not to mention the fact that I don't get sick often, so when I'm sick for more than a few days it's really bad and I tend to get really depressed and emotional and hallucinate frequently. And I sleep with a digital thermometer under my pillow. Thank god it is digital, or I'm sure I'd end up with mercury poisoning.

And I slept for like six hours today in addition to about eight hours last night, so I'm probably going to have to take NyQuil again to fall asleep. Which isn't bad, I probably need it anyway, I just get so bored. It's not really fun to only be awake seven hours out of twenty-four.
