Last time i went to the docs office,which was in october or late september, i weighed 9lbs less than i do today. I'm over 130lbs now. Now that was shocking. While it's obvious in how i can't fit into my pants, i think my belly is taking most of the fat. I need to do sit ups now and i also need to hit the gym and start running. Lord, I loved the way i was. i loved being able to fit into size 0 italian clothing. Now, i'm a 2 in US clothing and a 6 in my italian abito. I hope i can nip it in the bud here.
On the other hand, i called out of work today. Wanted to show up and suck it up but i'm way too sick. Still having chills, i can't even breathe through my mouth and the doc is telling me i have an ear infection in addition to my throat being red and inflamed. Plus you're very congested and your heart rate is high. Those are here words, not mine. Honestly, i wanted to go to work simply cuz i figured i'd make more with the differential but i'd be jeopardizing my patients. i mean i spoke to my roommate for couple seconds in the kitchen saturday and 2 days later i was coughing like he was and sick. For something this contagious, i wouldn't want a poor patient recovering from surgery catching it. Yes, i could wear a mask but i remember the situation back at UPenn when one of the nurses wore a mask throughout the shift and somewhere along the line, i heard him telling Jackie that his patient was complaining about catching the cold from him.
Anyway, i wouldn't want some hypochondriac to tell me at 4am in the morning that they think they're experiencing the onset of a cold.
Anyway, bedrest and amoxil - that's what the doctor ordered. If only this fever would come down...
