Today marks Day 4 of not going to work. I woke up this morning with still a low-grade fever. I called the office to let them know that I would not be there. I then called the doctor's office to find out what the hell was going on with me. He gave me cough medicine and it makes me cough more. The nurse told me to stop taking the medicine and switch to over-the-counter Robitussin ASAP. So, I'm starting to laugh at the fact that I went to a doctor and will end up taking an OTC medication. Funny. And then I'm blowin' my nose and out comes ALL OF THIS BLOOD! I have never had a nosebleed and was a little freaked out when there was blood running down my face, down my shirt, onto my feet, etc. So the nosebleed made me call the doc again and his response was: Come to my office as soon as you can - we're sending you for a chest x-ray. Sam leaves for the airport in fifteen minutes. I will be alone for the next three days until I fly to Austin. I certainly hope I can fly. If I am still this congested on Saturday or if something shows up on the chest x-ray, I most likely won't be taking a vacation.
At least my office has been nice about me not being there but I think they all forgot that I am on vacation next week too. And the worst part of all of this (I think I've mentioned this before), I'm not getting paid for ANY of this time off!!!!!
More details after the chest x-ray.

OMG super scary!!! Call someone!! Don't be alone!!! Have someone come over and stay with you/accompany you to your appt. Sounds like you need your own social worker :( !!!!

Your husband sucks. I can't believe he left you alone when you're feeling all crappy and stuff.
In all seriousness, I love you and hope you feel better. I can't wait to see you.
