Just wondering if anyone has successfully had an OBE while they've been sick?

I've recently had both an injury to my calf extending down into my ankle and foot, causing an ongoing ache and if I move the wrong way a shooting pain and a severe summer cold. I've continued daily practice with my OBE exit technique and meditations but my mind is SO scattered. I find it very difficult to focus and my mind keeps snapping back to my various discomforts.
Any suggestions? (besides lots of bed rest and chicken soup)
