Still Sick

Still here. Still sick.

It’s unusual for me to get taken down so hard by something, so I went to the doctor on Wednesday afternoon. They’ve already seen a few cases of the flu this year, and she said my symptoms sounded like flu — but I tested negative for it. But there’s also been some other viral crap going around that causes the same set of symptoms. All she could do was tell me to go home, rest, and drink lots of fluids. She said it’s lasting 3-5 days. Well, this is day 4 so it better be gone soon.

Each day I start to feel better as the day goes on. And then each morning I wake up feeling like I’m back at square one.

I really hate being sick. I know I’m stating the obvious — is there anyone who LIKES being sick? — but whatever. Jose’s had to carry the family for the past several days so I know he’s ready for me to get better. And even though I’ve had an unexpected week at home, I obviously haven’t been able to DO anything. And because of the combination of superflex day plus Labor Day plus Emma’s tubes plus being sick, I haven’t been to work in more than a week.

So on top of feeling miserable, I’m also feeling like a huge slacker.

Ok, end whining.

Yaaaaaay.
