Maybe as a child you were blessed with abnormally good health (maybe it was your parents blessing). As such, it's time to pay back for all of those extra days healthy and playing outside while friends were home sick.

Try and put a positive spin on it. You didn't get blown up in Iraq, so to pay for it you get to be "mildly sick" for a few days/weeks. (hope not months/years)

Get Forest Gump's box of chocolates out and pick another, cause ya know: "You never know what your gonna get".

Get well soon.
