Swine Flu Diaries

yeah,me,the germaphobe borderline hypochondriac got swine flue.I've never even had the flu ever but if this is what it's like ,let it be the last fucking time.

Day 1:
Day 1 started with me thinking i was just sick.I had a killer sore throat,stuffiness everywhere and my body felt like someone took a sledge hammer to it.I went to work knowing that i felt like shit and luckily got sent home within a half hour of being there(luckily for my co workers too,less germs being thrown around).So i drove home,sort of delirious because my head felt like a balloon and crashed on my bed.Naturally i watched tons on tv and now have a new favorite show.have you seen rehab on tru tv?It's awesome.for men.nah it's the bitch to bitch drama that gets me and the general craziness that goes on in Vegas that makes that show worth watching.

Day 2:
Definitely the worst day.My throat felt like shredded meat,my head was pounding,freezing,body aches,runny nose,fever etc etc.So i went to the doctor after my mother nagged me for like an hour.I think i actually made a swine flu joke to the nurse before she took my temperature.I scored 102 degrees on that test prompting the nurse to take this flu stuff all serious.For the record the flu test fucking sucks,they jammed a q-tip so far up my nose i felt like they were giving me lobotomy and then twirled it around...don't let anybody tell you it's not slightly painful.When the doctor came in wearing a damn mask it was pretty easy to tell i had the flu.After spending close to 2 hours at the doctors and having to wear a mask out i finally was able to go home.My mom freaked out of course and came home armed and ready with Lysol,Purell,and even her own mask.My day had already been pretty shitty but then i find out i have to pay $90 for fucking Tamiflu!!!In fact,the only good thing about that day was the gallon of ice cream my dad brought home and the 12 pack of ginger ale I've already made a huge dent in.

Day 3:
Today i feel better,but apparently I'm still contagious.I woke up sweating like crazy as opposed to the other two nights when i went to bed with goosebumps from being so cold.I'm sick to fucking death of laying in bed and I've watched entirely too much Suite Life of Zach and Cody.My throat is a little better although in the morning it was still a little raw and when i was brushing my teeth it felt like putting lemon juice on a paper cut.My body aches are almost gone and my fever is only slightly there.I hate my job but i kind of want to get back to work already.and holy crap i can't even begin to tell you how I AM SICK OF SOUP!!!It's not even funny.I want real food..even the ice cream is getting a little tired.I can't wait to eat a real meal...once i get better the first thing i'm going to eat will definitly be a BLT.
