Feeling “improved”

Posted By nikki on November 23, 2008

A lot of people have been asking me if I’m “better” since I’ve been on this new course of antibiotics.  I have to catch myself from saying “yes” because I’ve found that if I say “yes” that people think that I am feeling 100% well, and that’s not the case at all!  I’m feeling “better” than I was when I was really sick, but I am not feeling “completely cured.”  So I’ve taken to saying that I’m feeling “improved, but not cured.”   At least I’m well enough to go to work!  I hate staying home sick all day; it’s boring!

People give me really funny looks when I say that!  I really don’t know any other way to convey that I don’t feel as bad as I did, but that I’m not 100% well.  I wonder what THEY do.  I think the next time someone asks me, I’m going to ask them what THEY say in that situation!
