Well this last week started off great and by great I mean I had a low-grade fever for three days. Next time I am going straight to acetaminophen. NSAIDs just wouldn't keep the temperature down long enough. It was not really a preference thing - I was just hoping to treat myself with whatever I had laying around the house. On day three, I gave in and went to go buy some acetaminophen.
This is exactly the sort of unexpected thing I anticipated when I built in leeway in my schedule. There were times where I couldn't power through anymore and had to lay down. It seemed the more I tried to do board studying, the higher my temperature got. What made it worse was I had terrible sleep those nights. I got up every two hours it seemed. Unable to exercise due to illness, I found myself a little depressed from not having some kind of non-academic outlet. Watching TV is a little too passive for me and sometimes I am not in the mood to read (although I did read a ton of comics while sick). The past couple days, I started drawing again, mostly superheroes. I am not a a particularly amazing artist or anythign like that. My own honest assessment of my own work is that it is a slightly above average amateurish style. But it did give me something to do. When I finish my first one I might upload it. My second one is my own take of a classic medical painting.
