Sickness update
Posted by Kym under Complaining Master
I still feel like crap. I will admit that I have now started in on my private stash of antibiotics. Yes, I buy contraband antibiotics from 3rd world countries so I don’t have to jump through hoops at my doctors office. And it’s cheaper. I have completely rationalized it that I am doing my part to support the global economy. Anyway, back to my whining. I have swollen glands, green gunk, and I feel like someone ran me over with a cement mixer. Sure sure sure.. it could be viral. But trust me, it feels like my upper respiratory system is being slowly eroded away – which would then be a breeding ground for bacteria anyway. Ok I admit it. I just can’t get past my “give me a pill to fix it” mentality. I end up on antibiotics maybe twice a year. And I hate the whole “you just suffer ten days before we decide if it’s bacterial” thing. Goes against my “control everything and have instant gratification mentality”. And all of you green folks who are going to lecture me on how I am diminishing the effectiveness of antibiotics… Spare me. You are getting more antibiotics in your meat, eggs and dairy products then I am taking twice a year.
And of course you only eat organic.
Did I mention I feel like crap? Cause this is all about me not you right?

Al was sick with similar symptons..and was home from work for seven days. He still feels weak from the ordeal. He didn’t go to the doctor (surprise) and just let it run it’s course. Not me, I would have been up for the antibiotics…Hope you feel better soon…I think Al’s lasted so long because of his smoking. Another story for another time. Feel well…soon. If you need anything, let me know.
