Health
Common health expressions Last month, I was not feeling well. I was under the weather I thought I had caught a cold. I had a running nose, itchy eyes, a sore throat, and a cough. I felt tired and ran down. I was in poor condition, because I had not been getting enough rest. My body hurt all over. I also had severe head pains, a real spreading headache. And I was running a fever. My body temperature was higher than normal. At one point I blacked out. That's right I was out cold. I lost consciousness. And my friend had to bring me around. He used cold water on my face to restore my consciousness. I grow concerned that my take a turn for the worse. I did not want to become sicker because then surely I would be at death's door. My friend took me to the doctor. I told the doctor I thought I had come down with a cold. When the doctor saw me, she immediately wanted to run some tests. She said that medical tests would help her discover why I was sick. The doctor also asked when I had my last physical. I do not get yearly checkups. But I probably should get a medical exam by a doctor every year. Then the nurse drew my blood. She used a needle to take a small amount of blood from my arm. She sent it to a laboratory for tests. The nurse also took my temperature. She used a thermometer to measure my body temperature. The doctor told me I had influenza, or the flu. But She told me I would recover soon. She said I was over the worst of the disease. She told me to rest at home and to stay away from other people, because the flu can spread. It is contagious. Thankfully I did not have to go under the knife I did not need an operation. Instead, I did just what the doctor ordered. I went home and did exactly what was needed to become healthy again. Soon I was on the mend( I was pouring through and recovering from my sickness. Now I am back on my feet. I am physically healthy again. Even better, the doctor has giving me a clean bill of health. She says that I am 100 percent cured. I am back to normal, and I feel great. In fact I feel on top of the world. My friends say I now look like the picture of health. |
