ARGH....I am sick.

Yes...I have been relatively healthy since early April, but I started to feel really crummy on my night shift last night, and it hit me hard through the day today. I have THE worst sore throat and green glowing snot. I actually headed to the doctor after calling in sick for tonight's night shift. I can hardly speak, and drinking or eating is very painful. The doctor I saw was totally useless, gave me a list of herbal immune boosters. Yes - helpful, but did not tell me anything on what I can do to actually swallow liquids to stay hydrated. At least she took a swab of my throat, so I'll know in a few days if there is something growing. I suspect even if there was, there probably wouldn't be much that would be safe for me to take now anyway. I stoped at the pharmacy on my way home and picked up half a dozen throat lozenge/numbing agents to try and get some relief. I also stopped at Tim Hortons and got some chicken noodle soup. So far the Ricola with Elderberry seams to be providing the most relief, and the soup broth was just what I needed.

So for those of you who are wondering why I am not calling you back, it's purely for the fact that I feel like shit, and cannot really speak.
