When it rains, it pours......
So life at the moment only gets more craptastic for me. In addition to the emotional drainage and fallout from the salary cut, I'm now physically unwell to boot. For the past two days I have been unable to really catch my breath (with a feeling of someone sitting on my upper chest) and the bottom of my throat has been tightening. I finally broke down and went to the doctor today. She wasn't my regular PCP, but she was nice. Turns out that I have a pretty acute case of pharyngitis and some sort of viral infection in my upper respiratory tract. For the former, there's not much I can do unless I start running a fever (in which case I fill my Z-pac antibiotic prescription). For the latter, I have an inhaler to make my breathing a little easier, but I pretty much have to wait it out. Add this on top of the body aches and I'm just a pathetic picture.
I simply feel like shit.
As for recovery from the work issue, I'm retooling my resume and getting it out there (just like all of my other coworkers). If I thought morale sucked before hand, it's absolutely dismal now. We're slogging through as best we can, but it's not a pretty picture.
Sorry for not responding to you guys. I appreciate all of the input on my previous posts and the well wishes/outcries for the last one. I have a bit going on right now and it's tough to keep up with it all, especially when I don't feel well.
Maybe my next post will be a happier one.
