Having a cold on the plane

[forestdaze]

I knew I've been starting to get sick (sore throat, congestion, etc.) but when I woke up yesterday it finally hit...and with a 7 and a half hour plane ride to go along with it.

At first I was really embarrassed to blow my nose on the plane because it would last FOREVER and I'd go through 3 tissues and STILL have to blow my nose. Also, I don't want to be that gross person that's sneezy, blowing their nose, and coughing constantly. So, initially I'd just wipe my nose and then go to the bathroom to really blow it all out. Since it was the first day it just got progressively worse throughout the plane ride. Eventually I needed to blow my nose so much that I just gave up and blew my nose at my seat from there on. 

There wasn't many people on the plane so I was able to move to my own row and sprawl out, which also let me feel less embarrassed about being soo sick. I kept sneezing fairly often and went through one pack of tissues like nothing. Almost every time I sneezed, I'd blow my nose and then feel another tickle. There was one instance when I sneezed about 4 or 5 times in a row and the guy across from me blessed me and was being super sympathetic about my cold. He actually wound up sneezing a few times throughout the plane ride and then he lightheartedly joked about me giving him my cold (which I absolutely loved, of course). He blessed me every single time I sneezed which was a crazy amount so after awhile I told him he didn't need to bless me anymore because we'd be here all day, but he say he didn't have anything else going on and still did it most times anyway. And then when the trolley came he bought me a tea. *melts*

Fast forward a few hours in and I just have a bajillion tissues out everywhere, despite trying to be hygienic about it. I wasn't sneezing as much but still had to blow my nose constantly. I heard quite a few people sneezing, too, thanks to mid-December! (ugh). But every time I'd wake up from a nap I'd feel even worse and then the sneezes would start up again for a few minutes and then be a little more spread out.

Very annoying plane ride so I thought I'd share the good stuff with ya!

Hopefully this is a somewhat coherent story because I had to take a lot of noseblowing breaks with some interrupted sneezes. Cold is definitely worse today. I feel like I just ran 10 miles, hahaa. 
Enjoy!

I am sorry to read you we're sick.

And an eight our plane ride must have been exhausting to you.

Do you feel better now?

It was so nice and caretaking from the boy to buy you some tea and blessing you all the time.

And your conversation was really nice.

Where did you travel? 

Get well soon

I remember being sick on a plane once. Luckily it was only for a little under 2 hours instead of 7 or 8. That was really sweet of that guy to buy you some tea though! Feel better!

thanks! yeah, it definitely wasn't ideal. luckily the plane was pretty empty to i was able to move into my own row and be sick and have my tissues everywhere and actually lay down  horizontally.
