Hard way to get time off work

So, being sick and full of infectino is a hard way to get time off work. :( I have to say this past week has been a bit rough. Had a shit end to a party on Saturday night past, which basically started off the new shit week. I found my throat to be a bit raw on Sunday, but thought it was because I had been up too late. As the day progressed, the throat got worse and a headache came into play. By teh time I got ready for bed, I coudln't get warm.

Woke up Monday and had the headache and the soare throat, but it wasn't too bad. Got to work and realized that I was in a complete daze...brain too thick to think straight and that there were at least 3 others with teh same symptoms. BOOOO!!! (Yes, all were at the same party Sat. night).

Tuesday, I went to work with a burning hot marble stuck in my throat, but the headache was gone. Little did I know thatthe fever however wasn't. :(

So, Tuesday night at 3:20am I woke up and could barely swallow. Seriously considered going to the ER in the dead of night, but realized that they woudln't get me in before morning anyway, so just tried to medicate myself. Little did I know that when I tried to spray chloaseptic spray on the throat to numb it, it only made it burn worse! Same as cough drops...so, water only from then on out. Dozed on and off until around 7am and I decided I'd call in sick. It was then that I realized I had to voice.

So, off to St. Joe's I go - 9:15am and there already was a line up 10 deep! :( Anyhoos, got in, got seen, got told I'm one big infectious mess - ear infection, throat and pharnyx infections. Got 10 days of penicillan and told to eat little bits of ice cream, popsicles, cold jello or apple sauce, chicken noodle soup, rice and toast and constantly sip water. Put a cold compress (Facecloth) on the throat and that's the best they could do. Totally contagious, so keep the surgical mask they gave me in triage for going out in public. *yeah right!*

BOOOOO.

Still haven't slept (I actually tried to sleep with the mask on last night so Van woudln't catch anything by my coughing), don't think the meds have kicked in ('cuase I feel worse today) and the coughing has started with a vengeance which I haven't had up until now.

Now that I have finally changed over to the new blogger, I'll try to update more often.

PS: I will address the comment tomorrow. Too tired right now...going back to the couch. BOOO.
PPS: At least Distraction is on at 11pm tonight! YAAY!
