Sick and Tired...

Seriously. Went to the doctor yesterday and I have bronchitis and sinusitis. I've been off work since Monday because I'm running a fever still. I feel like crappo! I've been coughing since Saturday and didn't know why. My first thought: I smoke too much. So I remedied that situation. I haven't had a cigarette since Sunday afternoon. However, that must not have been the cause of my illness given that I have actually gotten worse since Sunday. I felt crappy on Monday morning. And even though I was completely dressed for work and about to walk out the door, I was feeling kinda woozy. I had a coughing attack that resulted in vomiting - this has continued every day since. So I decided to take my temperature. 100.4...I was sticking around at home for the day. The fever went up to 101.5 over the course of the next 24-hours so I called the doctor. I have to give props to this doctor guy. Not only was I able to get in the same day (as a new patient), he really took the time to tell me what was going on and make referrals to a pulmonary doctor (He thinks I may have asthma or sleep apnea). I really dug this guy.

So, pros of being at home sick:

Sam is taking care of me
Get to sleep all day or watch TV all day
Am on drugs that make me drowsy
Don't have to get dressed
Have lost about 10 pounds because I don't want to eat and am drinking tons of fluids
Haven't brushed my hair in 3 days
Haven't smoked since Sunday

Cons of being sick:

I hate being sick
Feel like crap
Sam is leaving for Austin on Thursday (I follow him (hopefully) on Saturday night)
I'm still working from home
I'm not getting paid to be at home sick (sick days don't kick in until May 28th)
Haven't smoked since Sunday
Coughing sucks (does it burn calories?)
Still expected to contact patients and their families as well as get things together for my supervisors


I'm heading back to bed now....I'm seeing double right now and have just coughed up my left lung. Cheers!
