Oh look, an update!
Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 02:28 amHey, I have an good excuse for not posting!
Okay, backing up a bit.
I had been going to a lot of pep games to play flute in the band. It was all fun until there were a bunch of games in a row...then it got a bit tiring. Last Saturday, about 10 days ago, I was feeling a bit icky and irritable at the game. And went straight home after. Wish I would have stuck around a bit longer to say goodbye to a few people since it was the last game, but I didn't really care. Then, Sunday, I woke up with a sore throat. Went to work anyways because it is impossible to find a last minute page and I get about 60 bucks. Guess it was a good thing I went...was crazy busy!
From then on, I got worse. Throat was so sore I couldn't swallow, coughing an insane amount, plugged nose. I called in sick for work for the first time in 4 years and spent the next 5 days waking like 10 times a night and having to take naps in the middle of the day (I hate naps). Then I wasn't able to taste food except for sour and sweet. So I didn't really eat much. Coughing so hard you start to dry-heave is not fun.
Last night was the first night in 10 days that I slept all through the night with no odd-hour wakeups.
I managed to go through about 12+ Kleexex boxes (yeah, I was chain-blowing).
I finally have some energy and am going to try to get back to work tomorrow. I don't get paid sick leave, so this has cost me over a hundred dollars from my paycheck :(
Still coughing a lot and have a little sore throat, but I finally feel like I might survive this. Haven't been this sick in over 10 years.
Now...let's see if I can concentrate enough to do a House review :)
