Stay in Bed Today

When I'm sick, I rarely feel bad enough to spend more than a few extra hours in bed. After a while, I at least feel well enough to move around inside the house.

I've never been so physically ill that I couldn't move for more than a few hours but I've definitely been so mentally ill that I couldn't get myself out of bed for a day at least. I don't really count going to the bathroom/stuff because you kinda have to do that.

The last time I was bedridden... I actually don't remember when that was. Even if I'm sick I get the urge to walk around and do something relatively productive, so I don't stay in for long (and there's also the fact that I haven't gotten sick in about two and a half years).

Probably after I had my appendix taken out when I was fourteen. When I'm sick, I'll still get up and move around somewhat, even if I can't leave the house.

A few weeks back I was sick and thus stayed in my room for the weekend. Only time I was bound to a bed for 72 hours was when I was in the hospital for fainting. Being bedridden made me feel weaker by the day, it was horrible, I struggled lifting myself out of the bed. I try to move around now even if it's a walk down the driveway,

I can't remember the last time I stayed in bed for the day. If I ever did it was most likely when I was in elementary school and had lied to my parents about being sick and then was too scared to actually get out of bed all day for fear of them calling my bluff and taking me to school. If I wake up I usually just get up since there's always someone trying to call me to come in for them at work and I like to at least look at the forums every day even if I don't actually do anything before I have to go or do something else.
