"Are YOU ITCHING to do SOMETHING...

...when being confined on your bed?" Sometimes we cannot refrain from getting sick and we need to take a rest. For instance, if you are inflicted of chickenpox. Of course, we can feel the skin itchiness because of the red spots or bumps. It would be mind-blowing if it pitches into our senses. When I had this, I make myself busy reading my favourite novel books. With this, I was able to forget the feeling of itchiness. "If you are sick, do you keep yourself busy on something?" "Are you itching to do something today?" Image Credit: media.giphy.com

I cannot really remember what happened when I had chickenpox, it was so long ago. Today I am itchy to bake some good bread.

@LadyDuck I think it is not convenient not to have an oven, right? How did you pull this through?

I think it is the best thing to do. I am sure it would be tasty. Are you going to do it today?

I have my period now. Although it cannot be considered sickness, women also feel rather weak and not so good during these days. I just lie here in my bed and putter around the room.

I do agree that a woman who has a magic day needs not to move as much as possible. Is it true that the pain will be lessened after having a child?

I am happy and thankful that it has been years since I was down in bed because of flu or any other sickness. But I remembered when I was confined in a hospital for colporrhaphy surgery. After the surgery i watched lots of tv shows.

@Shavkat indeed. It is so entertaining to the confined and the caregiver to have a tv inside the hospital room.

I think we are lucky to have a TV if being confined in a hospital room. It would be boring if there isn't, right?

@Shavkat yes, it really would be too boring without the tv for both the patient and the caregiver.

I remember the same thing, when I had chicken pox I started reading and since then I became a book worm... I always make sure that sickness should not take a toll on me until and unless it's like something really serious.

How old you are when had this chickenpox? I started to be a bookworm when stated to read a book at the age of 6.

@Aansh13 You are still young at that time. In my country, most children had chickenpox in their primary school years.

When I get sick I don't itchy in my body. I just need to stay in bed, to have ample rest until I am fully recuperating.

In God's grace, we don't want to get sick. I think it would be nice to do something than enduring the pain or itchy feeling in our body.

I can relate to that. I think it is normal to hit one another during the younger days. How about now? Are you close together?

@just4him That's nice. Perhaps I can do this in the future. In fact, the book that I had created is ready to be published. I just need an illustrator. It is quite pricey to avail of their service.

Thanks to doing overtimes, I can't go to the archery range. And we have a company event next week, so no jiu jitsu. Life is suddenly gloomy.

Just like with my treatment, my whole body will be itching due to high Phosphorous in our body. I can’t stop itching all over my body and it’s pisses me off. When doing something, yes, like I want to do it now.
