I am so lucky I have not had a day like this for so long but the feeling of complete hopelessness has unfortunately taken over today. I don't know where to start...swine flu maybe. I have now had this awful chest infection (which makes it sound so simple) for over a week. Every day I wake up thinking I am going to feel better today but no such luck. I pulled a muscle in my back four days ago which is only just beginning to not hurt. It felt like I had been shot and stabbed and cracked a rib all at the same time. I have rarely felt pain like that in my life.
