Holy pass the tissues Batman!
Would you rather be extremely sick (bed-ridden) for one week or slightly sick (headache, runny nose, and cough) for one month?
Even though both of these scenarios suck, for me, this is an easy call. I'd much rather be slightly sick for a month.
I hate being any kind of sick. At the first inkling of a headache, I reach for the Aleve. At the first sniffle, I grab some Sudafed. So even when I'm slightly sick, it isn't long until I have relief. (And even though I'm feeling better, I don't always tell people taking care of me that I feel better. Yeah I admit I milk it sometimes!)
But when you're extremely sick, there is no amount of over-the-counter medication that's going to make you feel even slightly better. It's just absolute misery until the sickness runs its course or the antibiotics you get after dragging yourself to the doctor start to take effect many days later.
So even though the horrible sickness would only last a week, I'd much rather be slightly uncomfortable for a month. Or as the people taking care of me would think, so uncomfortable that I can't cook or clean or do chores!
