I have the flu
I went to go to the doctor yesterday because I was felt awful. I was hoping to get a couple of shots and still make it to work by 4ish. Hard to breath, coughing, headache, and back ache. I thought it was going to be bronchitis. Finally get into a room 2 hours later and the nurse takes my blood and swabs my nose. About 10 minutes later, I hear someone say, "this can't be right! Hey, come here and look at this. Can this be right? Types A and B?" Other person says, "this guy has types A and B?!" "No, it's a girl!"
I am thinking, please don't be me. That would be my luck. The staff then gather outside of my room and everyone talks about how this is only the third case. This is a new strand. Probably going to be an outbreak. And I am still thinking please don't be me. Please don't be me.
So 30 or 45 mins later the doctor finally comes in. He then tells me that I am infected with influenza types A and B. This can lead to pneumonia. I will have to be off of work for about 5 days. I am like I can't be off of work for 5 days! He tells me that I will be off of work and he will have to contact the CDC that there is a possible outbreak. Wow. Um ok. Thanks.
So my mom came and got me and I am here at my parents house being sick. And all I can think is only me. Only me.
