I think this is the sickest I've been in at least the last three or four years. My doctor, when she saw me yesterday, told me she thought I could go back to work next Monday. I came down with it last Sunday. I thought, okay, I can see a day or two, but four days off work for a virus? What the hell?
But she was right, damn her. There is no bloody way I'll be able to go back to work tomorrow. I went to Fiona's school for school conferences tonight, sort of a trial run to see if I might be able to go back to work tomorrow. After two hours I practically crawled out of there, literally crying in pain. My throat hurts so blazingly bad when I cough, as if I'm tearing the tissue apart in shreds, that I keep thinking I'm going to see blood on the kleenex when I cough, as if I'm dying of consumption. And the coughing keeps going on and on, doubling me over in paroxyms of agony. I've already told Rob that I'm not going to attempt Delia's conferences tomorrow, and screw work. They'll get along without me.
Tea, ice cream, italian ices, cough drops, Ibuprophen, Acetaminaphin, humidifier, hot baths, dark chocolate, soup, oatmeal, salt-water gargles, Robitussen cough syrup, Chloraseptic throat spray. Nothing gives me relief for very long. Christ, it hurts.
