Okay... So I TOTALLY Got Sick...

Man I HATE being sick... Nothing worse in my opinion, actually thinking about it yes there is a worse thing.... Still having a wicked chest cough after you're allegedly "done" with your sickness!!!

So it started on Friday, I had a funky tickle in my throat and I was jubilant that I was able to switch with one of my co-workers so I didn't have to work on Memorial Day. I was thinking "SWEET! I'm gonna go watch me some Terminator Salvation and relax!" Only bad thing is the cough didn't want to go away... Oh well, let's grab some dinner with the fam and STILL coughing like a mother!

So I head to bed after dinner and next day which was the day I planned to see Terminator, my chest is hurting and I'm not feeling so hot... I'm thinking "aww crap, not the flu again!!!!", but despite my mother's concerns I didn't head to the doc yet in the event it was a 24 hour flu or something. So the day goes on and I feel worse and worse... Went to sleep and was coughing while I was asleep, how do I know you may ask? I kept waking up... THAT'S HOW HARD I WAS COUGHING FOLKS!!!

So Sunday rolls around and I'm still feeling like crap, so I finally have to admit defeat and tell my mother time to head to urgent care because this is scaring me! Go to urgent care and they diagnose me with bronchitis! HOLY CRAP! So they give me some anti-biotic and an inhaler (Don't ask folks I have no earthly idea, why they'd give me an inhaler for bronchitis... But what do you expect when you don't have to pay for insurance...) So I also get a note from the doc to stay out of work until Tuesday.

So Monday rolls around and I still feel sick as a dog, and figure Tuesday is a wash... So I called into work and let 'em know I had a docs note. So Wednesday rolls around and still feel like crap and I go as far as to go to work to deliver my doc's note and to let my managers know that I'm not in any shape to work, so thankfully they let me head on home.

So now that it's Thursday, I felt good enough to go to work. Still felt like crap taking calls but at least I still was employed for the time being... I unfortunately have a VERY strict attendance at work and I've already shot my "silver bullet" once... So let's hope a brother stays on...
