I had to cancel on a dive today, all because I am sick :depressed:
I only have a cold, mostly my throat though it does make my ears hurt. Even then I was debating which drugs would help keep ears clear (not feeling any congestion but it doesn't mean it isn't there). What was my downfall is realizing that I have barely been eating because I feel so crappy. If I can't even eat 1000 calories a day how am I in any shape to be able to dive? I finally came to my senses and decided to sit this one out.
It made me wonder, how does everyone tell when they are too sick to dive? Any particular symptoms that make you sit a dive out or just general not feeling well?
