Okay.
Scratch last post.
It's not the flu.
It's pnemonia.
PNEMONIA. who the hell gets pnemonia on Thanksgiving? apparently, i really pissed off the karma gods.
i got a shot of ass kicking antibiotics in my butt (holy cow that hurt), hard core codine cough syrup, and another 5-day antibiotic course. After the shot, they had to watch me for 30 minutes to make sure I didn't react it was that hard-core. AND they took chest XRays. do you know how hard it is to "take a deep breath...release it...take another deep breath...and hold...." when I can't take a deep breath without coughing, you can imagine how long the very patient XRay tech sat there waiting for me to stop coughing.
at least i got a good dr and an amazing nurse. the nurse cracked me up. She came in all smiles to check on me after the shot and asked if she minded if she looked at my xrays. She was psyched when I said yes. Wicked! was her response. The Dr was really nice too. He was super nice and listened to EVERYTHING I said and in no way treated me like the village idiot. He laughed when he asked me if I'd been around anyone sick and I told him I was student teaching. That'll do it.
So now i'm sitting here roasting since I still have a fever but life is good with codine cough syrup and tv videos.
stay healthy, folks
