Did you know they have a swab test for the flu now? The doctor said he wanted to get one, so I figured it would be from the back of my throat like the strep test is. Nope! The nurse comes in and says, "This is going to be unpleasant. It's going to feel like I'm poking a needle into your brain." Okay, it wasn't quite that bad, but it was still unpleasant when I was pretty delirious already.
Sleep and Tamiflu seem to have helped enough that I'm going to try going back to work tomorrow for a few hours. My fever has been below 99 today (I normally run around 97, so 98 is kind of a fever but not really).
I slept a lot. I've rewatched the first season of Carnivale. I lost 16 hours of pay. I'm ready to be done with this sick.
