David has been sick for ten days now, with I-feel-like-I'm-dying symptoms, mostly body-wracking coughs. He's been to four clinics. Today he took another vacation day from work and went to a full-sized hospital, where they did a lung x-ray, and...ta da, he has a lung inflammation and has to stay at the hospital for a week.
Thank heavens they finally figured out what's wrong with him. When everyone says it is "just a bad cold," he has no excuses to avoid working 14-hour days plus weekends (he worked last Saturday and was supposed to work this coming Sunday), and can't avoid the stupid Korean company cultural tradition of drinking as much alcohol as your boss tells you to. We're both pretty sure that his last 회식 was the thing that kicked the cold to something much more severe. Gah!
But anyway, he's in the hospital, out of the "feels like 10 degrees" weather, and safe, for a week, from job stress. He sounded happier on the phone today than I've heard him in two months.
I have to go to work pretty soon, so I will visit him in the morning.
