Being Sick is Not Fun: Part 2
So here I am, still home sick. It's day 3 and I'm going stir crazy not being able to work or go out of the house. I've been to the doctors 3 days and I still have to go back tomorrow to get checked out. I think I will have been to the doctors almost as many times this month as I've gone in the past year and 3 1/2 months that I've been in Korea.
So the doctor says I have asthmatic bronchitis, croup, and some allergy to something. Who would have thought that a cold would turn into all this... The combination of coughing and not being able to breathe after is very tiring. Last night I had a coughing fit that lasted about 20 minutes and the only thing that calmed it down was finding some Halls that I had brought from Canada.
I've taken pills, cough syrup, and a puffer and as of Wednesday night, tonight, I'm feeling a little better and the coughing is not as bad. Yesterday after getting new medicine from the doctor, my stomache started to feel funny, not settled, but not painful and I was very shaky. I wonder if it's because of all the medicine I've been taking, like my body doesn't like it...
Well I think tomorrow the doctor will say that I can go back to work. I probably would have gone today, but the doctor said one more day. I feel bad for my co-workers, who have my classes to teach on top of their classes. I really hope I can go tomorrow for two reasons, one I'm out of sick days, today was my thrid sick day, and I don't want my co-workers to get over worked with taking over my classes. We shall have to see what tomorrow brings.
