Well, I have been feeling incredibly bad the last couple of days. I went to work yesterday and I could barely stand it. My boss came in my office and said "you need to go home" it was that evident.
Instead I went to the doctor. I had to wait 3 hrs to be seen, my wife was with me (God bless her). I finally get seen. They stick this swab way up both of my nostrils. The 1st one wasnt too bad, although very uncomfortable. The 2nd one was like a Japanese war torture. I think she scrapped the side of my nose. It hurt like hell. Ive never had anything shoved so far up my nose. I thought she was going to touch my brain.
The doctor finally seen me and told my I had the flu. He said some people have a bad cold and call it the flu when its just a bad cold. Some people get a strand of the flu. He said I had the flu-flu. The real deal. Said I was highly contagious and will be sick the rest of the week at the very least. He gave me a 5 day note from work, so I dont return to work until Monday. Im like Yyyyaaaaaaaeeeee!!!! I got 2 prescriptions that cost me $100. One of them is cough medicine with pain killers in it. Yummy!
Last night I got home around 8pm (After being let off work around 1:30). I took the medicine and went straight to bed. I honestly havent felt this bad in at least 3 years. I slept the entire night and now that my wife is waking up, I woke up with her. I was feeling bad again, so I took some more medicine.
I cant tell you if I will be around more or less. Once I call in to work which will be at 9am, I will probably go and pass out again. I suspect I'll feel a little better each day and I may be showing up more and more as time goes by.
Anyway...hope all is well and appreciate whatever contribution you may provide.
