Default Re: When good ideas go bad....

Sounds like me on Wednesday.
I first had a tap installed in my nose which was immediately left in the on position and the sandpaper attached to the inside of my throat. Then came the headache and that was before sitting in traffic for an hour and a half to get home.
Then the shivers started about the same time the gas heater ran out of gas.
So rather than waiting for the next morning to go to the family doctor I went to the after hour$ one.
I am thinking this is the worst flu I have ever had, and as I am sitting waiting I start to read the pamphlet on Meningitis Symptoms... not a good idea for piece of mind.
Vomiting - nope
Fever - yep
Headache - yep
Stiff neck - yep
Light aversion - yep
Drowsiness - yep
Joint pain - a little bit
Fitting - nope

So off to the counter to tell them I have a few of the symptoms... and guess who is called next... me.
The doc does his things and he confirms that it is just a really bad bronchial infection... at that point I am sure my heart rate returns to something near normal and I get a list of drugs to get from the pharmacy.

What a fun evening that was.

It is Friday afternoon at the moment and although I am feeling a little bit better I am still sitting at home twiddling my thumbs and wishing that my body would return to it's normal (or abnormal) state as soon as possible.
