Report from the doctor

[scarlettina]

I am ill. (We knew this.) I'm ill enough to need medication and yet another day home from work. She gave me a note to provide to my supervisor.

I hate this.

On the other hand, she loves my sense of humor. So I guess there's an upside.

Me, I'm back to bed.

Don't you have like, I dunno, skads of movies you can watch?

(wishing I was home and had no homework...)

Been watching Doctor Who today but, yes, there are also movies on the docket. Have we talked about Time After Time yet?

Poor you.
What is your illness?

The doctor thinks it's some sort of bacterial thing. She asked me a lot of questions about past history with bronchitis, pneumonia and the like, of which I have none. I still have my tonsils and, as every doctor I've ever had has taken pleasure in telling me, they're huge (why is everything about size?) and healthy, but apparently they're a worry when it comes to the aforementioned illnesses. Anyway, she's given me Zithromax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azithromycin) (also known as azithromycin), which is an antibiotic. (She didn't give me penicillin because I'm allergic to it.) If you know anything about antibiotics then, without going into detail, you probably have some idea of why she wants me home tomorrow.

Man, I can't wait to get this thing out of my system.

Well, hell. I'm sorry to hear that you're so sick. There is a lot of that going around.

We should hang together the next time I'm ill. I'm a complete and utter baby when sick.

My problem when sick is that I don't want to bother anyone. And it's not the Jewish-mother-I'll-just-sit-here-in-the-corner sort of not bothering anyone. It's the I-can-take-care-of-myself-thank-you-very-much sort of not bothering anyone. This is why it was such a big deal that I called ironymaiden on Saturday night for help. I never call for help. And I never go to the doctor unless I feel utterly incapable of doing anything more than I already have. But as I said to the doctor today, once I become a patient, I'm very patient about being a patient, and I'm a good one and do what I'm told.

I am the worst patient evar(tm). Don't like meds, don't want water, don't wanna be bothered. Big ol' baby. Luckily I get the knockdown dragout only once (maybe twice) a year.

Of course she loves your sense of humor. She's been able to see what I can only surmise is a really beautiful funny bone.

So sorry you're still unwell. Hope betterness finds you soon.

...cold medicine can be so much fun!

Sadly, not the kind I'm getting.

[exiledfromtribe.livejournal.com]

Ew. Sorry. Sleep then, sleep! Sleep is good.

Sorry you're still tres mal. I hope this treatment zaps it for you. Take care.

[burger-eater.livejournal.com]

I hope you feel better soon.

Here's to hoping that you feel better very soon. My wife and I got plowed under by some form of the plague ourselves, she seems to have mostly shaken it off while I'm still crushed under its wing.

Hope that you are more like her and are able to shake it off quickly.
