Is It Wednesday?

Is It Wednesday?


I think it is Wednesday, though it's difficult to know through the pain in my head. Oh yes, the "crud" that's been circulating around the office has caught up with me...this morning, I can barely see straight through the stuffed head and head ache steadily growing in intensity.

I've taken my first dose of cold/cough medication...waiting for it to kick in to see if I can proceed to shower and head to the office. I may have to take a sick day and just stay home today...which I HATE to do, but out of respect for my co-workers, unlike most of the others in the office, I don't want them to come down with this crud!!!

One of the attorneys I work for, has been sick with an upper respiratory/crud thing since Thanksgiving. Monday he went back to the doctor and was given, yet another antibiotic...he was running another low-grade fever...not that he gave me what I am currently suffering from but in my mind, he's a contributor to the overall situation.

I've got the sinus/eye pack on my face, trying to warm things up enough to break-up some of the head congestion/headache...might be that I have to give-in to this crud and just stay home! Gawd I HATE being sick!!!

Time for another hot cup of coffee...

UPDATE: I got my eyes covered with my heated sinus pack and off to sleep I went...good thing I called everyone at the office before I passed out...time to fix a little lunch and then back to bed this ol'gal goes!!!

Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure...

It is best to stay home when sick. You wont spread to coworkers and you will get better faster if you take care of yourself. So go back to bed and sleep the day away

The frustrating part about staying home is knowing that I got this crud from co-workers that refused to stay home when they were sick. While most have claimed they have a non-contagious, upper respiratory infection, the bottom-line is that there are usually secondary infections that come with the original crud that are contagious. Yes, I'm breaking the cycle by staying home...I HATE to be sick, I HATE feeling bad, but you're right, stay home, sleep the day away...

I've been fighting the same crud for over a week now. I started taking massive doses of vitamin C, and it seems to be helping.
