I... have the piggy flu?!
It started Thursday night with heavy coughing, which is why I thought it was bronchitis. Then on Friday, my throat was in a lot of pain, so I thought it was strep. So I went to my doctor today, and turns out I had a fever of 102 degrees... Oops. Guess I should buy a thermometer :I
Then I took the flu test (which HURTS, BTW)
And sure enough, I have type A swine flu...? (According to wikipedia, type A is the one that causes pandemic amongst humans...?)
I have to sleep all day and wake up every four hours to take Tylenol to lower my fever. My parents are quarantining me to my room. I have to wear a surgical mask and latex gloves each time I step outside my room.
I tried calling my dad, and he has his phone turned off since church is way more important. I got a prescription for Tamiflu for my dad for preventive purposes, and my mom was planning to get his before mine, even though I'm the one who's sick. My doctor said all the piggy flu cases he as seen were only ages twenty-five and younger, so my parents don't really have anything to worry about.
Then my mom said that I probably caught it when I was at my birthday dinner, but that was a week ago... I'm so tired of my mom trying to pin the blame on me someway or another. I caught the flu, and that's that. Now I have to stay home a week.
EDIT: Suggest me a series to read? :O I'm going to have a lot of free time in the next week LOL. Currently reading Reborn :3 It's so good; I have no idea why I haven't read this sooner.
