Vision blurry like there’s a mucus film over eyes. Had to rub eyes to help it clear. Sinuses congested. Woke from strange dream (seeking out Dr’s who might care to help me heal while in midst of a war. Realize I need a new goal – finish college for one but also determine something I want to do (purpose in life). Yet I’m conflicted bc I don’t know what I want to do. Don’t know what I’m good at with my current limitations.
Tongue still covered white and small lesions all over. It hurts today.

Feet are freezing. Chilling sensation gradually moving up legs – up to mid chin.
