Sick

It appears that at some point last week I picked up something. Whether it was germs from soul friend who visited for my birthday or the numerous coughing children I counsel everyday or perhaps just even the change in temperature whatever it was got me. And it got me good.

It all started with a scratchy throat. Then the sniffles joined the party. Eventually scratchy throat turned into extremely sore and painful throat. So much so that I decided a day of talking to patients all day was just not going to happen. I thought I was okay yesterday, but after an hour of work I was told to go home. They could tell in my face that I was just not well.

Luckily after two days of bed rest and lots of fluids (have you ever tried drinking a full glass of water every hour, it's tough!) I am finally feeling better. Still have the runny nose and the cough, but at least my voice is more or less back to normal and I have returned to work. I guess I'm not really happy about the being back at work part but I am hoping this means that by the weekend I will be full of energy and ready to have fun. Or at least be able to take full advantage of sleeping in, well at least on Sunday when I don't have to work.
