Speaking practice

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.
