because, you know, i have a very strange way of getting sick. most often, this involved me being crippled for a day. like yesterday. got up at 4 am with fever, severe muscles/bones aches and chills. waited sister to get up, since there was not even an aspirin in this house. sister went to pharmacy, got remedies. stuffed my face with medicine then basically stayed in bed all day since getting up was next to impossible.
of course, i am now fully functional. sure, i have a slight throat ache but i can walk!
