signs

Things that indicate I'm getting better:

1. My eye sockets don't hurt.
2. The sitting up to lying down ratio is more socially acceptable.
3. No alternating feelings of being broiled alive & having shivering goosebumps.
4. Taking a shower & brushing my teeth don't seem quite so daunting.
5. I care deeply that instead of looking like this when I'm ill:

Unplucked eyebrows, yes. Pretty nightgown & flawless complexion? No.



...I look more like this:

Except I'm lying down, and not smiling. Plus my hair is shorter.
