Being Sick is The New Sexy
The only thing worse than spending the weekend studying is spending the weekend sick in bed.
Friday night I yacked my guts out in ED’s toilet and shivering in bed next to him. I even got a little throw up on his t-shirt.
Yeah, I’m such a sexy girlfriend.
Saturday ED took care of me in between my naps and complaints about how freezing cold it was and how my throat was swelling at a rapid rate.
By the time I woke up on Sunday my throat was swollen to double the size and I could no longer swallow my own spit, yet alone any other fluids, so I decided it was time to get some medical help.
I knew I had Strep throat before I walked through the Instacare doors. I’ve had it every year since I was a little girl so I recognize it instantly. Unfortunately knowing I have it will not get me the antibiotics needed to take it away and since I bought jewelery in Mexico instead of antibiotics, I had to suffer a 45 minute wait to get them.
So here I sit, miserable and achy. One day in to my 4 pills a day for 10 days regime. ED is home studying and my parents have left for Lake Powell (I will be joining them at the end of the week – more on that soon) so I have no one to bitch to except my cat and she sympathy is not exactly her strong point.
Ahh well. On the bright side I have a free pass to eat lots of ice cream and watch bad TV.
Blogfully yours,
Summer
Aw, that sucks. I cannot stand being alone when I am sick. I need someone to ask pathetic favors of, like, “I can’t tear open the paper aspirin packet, please help me!” Late afternoon to early evening is the worst.
Honey, I’m sorry you’re sick. Call me if you need anything. I won’t make you any chicken soup, but I will hold your hair back while you puke.
