i hate being sick

[kencat742]

so I have now been sick for a week.  it sucks.  i'm not used to being sick and i think the worst part is that (1) I get bored and (2) i can't sleep at night.  Wednesday I went to the doctor and they gave me cough medicine with codeine in it, this is supposed to supress my cough and make me sleepy.  it does niether.  Yesterday after coughing until 3am (took it about 11ish) I decided that I should call the doctor and say that it doesn't work.  The nurse asked if I drank water after I took it and I said yes I did.  She said that the water was why it didn't work; however, on the print out the pharmacy gave me, under how to use it says to "drink plenty of fluids while you are using the medication".  Tonight I followed the nurse and didn't drink anything...i'm wide awake coughing after taking it a good 45 mintues ago.  I would be laying in bed trying to fall asleep, but I feel bad if I wake Brad up...although I think he's rather sound asleep considering he didn't notice when I left the room coughing to come in here.  Last night while trying to fall asleep, I did catch up on some nice Cosby Show.  I use to watch it when I was little and it was on prime-time.  The only nice thing about coughing is that I feel as though I've had a good ab workout.

Well, I guess I should probably go try to fall asleep again...goodnight all
