I wish I was where I was when I was wishing I was here

I have heard from current PCV's that the first time that I am sick here I will miss home more than anything. This week I have come to understand this. I have had a constant headache for a week now. It starts around 930am everyday and comes and goes all day. All the while, it makes me feel nauseous.
I have just contacted my PCMO about this and they told me to get some Ponstan (500mg) and to take 1 cap every 6 hours. Not sure what this medicine is and what it will do, but lets pray it works and makes this horrible feeling go away.
Now for the missing home part. When you're sick you want all of the comforts from home 10 fold. All I want right now is 1) to not be hot 2) to lie on my parents' couch in the living room (up stairs) with a blanket 3) to have a hug from my parents 4) to watch a Disney movie 5) to eat grilled cheese

Conclusion: Being sick in the Pines = not fun!!!
