Sick Time means TV time

I have been sick for more than a week now. I had the flu and although I’m feeling much better, I was asked by my doctor to stay at home for a while. I’m a little weak from the illness and my boss was kind enough to excuse me from work. I had nothing to do with my spare time but to watch dvd’s and cable channels. Good thing that my sister had just bought a Samsung HDTV for our mini home theater.  You wouldn’t be able to notice the difference from the regular TV if you only use regular cables and stuff. However, since my sister was a geek, she also bought HDMI cables and blu ray disks, which made the viewing experience much much better.

Dyspepsia

A week a go I went to my friend’s house to help her out in choosing some garden decor for her front yard. Both us are really excited when suddenly I felt a sticking pain in my stomach. I really can’t stand the pain so we went home and postponed the activity that both of us planned to do. The next day I went to the doctor to have a check-up. The doctor said that it was just indigestion.

Indigestion or dyspepsia happens when too much acid is formed in the stomach. The presence of too much acid in my stomach explains the pain and discomfort that I felt in my stomach area. The doctor added that I must avoid oily foods, carbonated drinks and caffeine for me not to have that kind of stomach pain again.
