Sick Again >.
Went to the ER Friday night...they told me that I had a really bad cold, almost like the flu, and laryngitis. They told me since I've had it for almost two weeks that if I don't get better by Wednesday I need to go back in to be examined again.
What bothers me is the doc prescribed me a steroid and drugs to knock me out cold for the weekend. I don't mind being given codeine when I can't stop coughing and I'm loosing sleep as a result, but I don't like that all MDs that I've seen lately have given me steroids to "reduce swelling" and "to treat the symptoms"...how about treating the person instead of hyping them up with drugs? That way they don't have to take this med and that med to balance out the side effects of one drug and a few extra meds to treat another symptom that they can't explain...really makes me not like the medical profession as much as I use to, but maybe it's because I'm just bitter because I've been sick so much lately and I've been in and out of doctor's offices more in the past two years than in my whole life (or so it seems).
Missing my analytical exam and italian class will not be fun...I'm not going to miss psych and physics so I'm praying to God I'm better by Tuesday. Dave's coming to visit Monday night...Tomorrow marks one year :-) all together tomorrow marks one year and three months...hehe, you should have seen what he gave me, it was so sweet.
8/31/10 or 8/31/11...only time will tell ;-).
