Me, aka, Sickie
Let's just start with this: I never go to the doctors. I don't think very highly of many of the medical professionals I've met. I know that they are just covering their asses but all the dumbed-down chitchat is just annoying. And let's not even get into tests that are unnecessary.
Well, I don't know exactly what I had this week but it knocked me straight on my ass. I mean, holy hell, thought I was possibly dying, had trouble getting to the bathroom (a mere 10ft from my bed) kind of sick. I haven't felt this ill since high school when they thought I might have mono. I didn't eat dinner Tuesday because, well, I would have had to stand up for more than three minutes and that was just beyond me.
I sucked it up and went to the dr.'s Friday. I was finally able to walk and my brain was functioning enough for me to feel safe driving. I got an antibiotic 'script. Now, I don't know if it is the drugs or the fact that I, quite literally, slept for almost four days straight but I am feeling much better. And, it turns out, my co-workers were right. The Dr. they recommended was efficient, didn't talk to me like a 3-yr old, and gave me two separate prescriptions. One for the antibiotics and one for coughs. She told me what they were and agreed that I didn't really need to fill the cough 'script unless I needed it (when I asked). A refreshing change from the, "Fill these prescriptions and follow the directions" line that is so prevalent. Woohoo.
I'm happy to be back on my feet. I am happy about finding a dr. that doesn't suck. But I am not happy that by all accounts I have just slept through the four most beautiful days we've experienced ALL YEAR. Figures. The house is never going to be painted...
Hope everyone is staying healthy and enjoyed the weekend!
PS to my sister: Okay, you are one up but I expect a lull eventually and will overtake you.... mwhahahaa.
