It's been a long long week being sick with this yucky flu bug. It started Monday evening with a painful sore throat and a fever. I swear I felt like I had been hit by a truck or freight train, something like that. On Tuesday I went to work but I felt so bad and gradually my stomach started bothering me and that became a complete mess as you can well imagine. Let's just say I barely made it home from work before my insides came out, I actually felt like my insides were being sucked out. Okay, enough description, ha ha ha. You get the picture:):) I spent Tuesday evening and night mostly in and out of the bathroom and when Wednesday morning rolled around I was in no shape or form to make an appearance at work, so I eagerly called in sick and spent the whole day in bed going in and out of sleep and sometimes watching a little TV. It felt really good to take a day of rest but I noticed my tummy was getting a little better but my throat still felt awful, it felt like gravel or rocks in my throat and I could feel the tightness going to my chest and my head was starting to feel congested. Oh gosh, this thing plans to run it's full course on me. Well, I went back to work on Thursday thinking I would feel better getting out moving around but no that wasn't the case. As Thursday wore on, my throat was the same and a cough was developing. Oh no, not the horrible cough too!!! And by Friday it was a full blown choking cough that would not cease and I had no voice when I woke up (surprise, surprise). Despite the Mucinex, cough drops, hot liquid drinks, nothing helped. I sit at my desk all day miserable and praying for 4pm to come so I could go home. 4pm finally came and I couldn't have been happier. As I am typing this, I am laying in bed still sick, coughing, sneezing, sinus congestion, sore throat, puffy eyes, runny nose, I guess you could say I'm a mess. Enough trying to let this flu bug run it's course I plan to see a Doctor ASAP on Saturday. I need Meds ASAP! Antiobiotics Please! Give me something to make me sleep and quiet this damn cough:):)
On a side note it's been over a year since I have been sick and had to see a doctor and this is my first time being sick here in Seattle. And I guess I feel pretty lonely being here sick all by myself, yes I'm feeling like a little baby. But luckily Grand Peking Chinese restaurant has been my best friend all week, their delicious soup and warm noodles have comforted me all week. Thanks Grand Peking!
