Stubborn.

[curgoth]

When I get it in my head to be stubborn, I do stupid things. Case in point - I've been sick for over a week and a half. I stubbornly decided that I should be able to get better on my own. I haven't. I am, in fact, sicker now than I was a week ago. I should have gone to the doctor last week, but I decided that, having taken a sick day the week before, I could not justify taking time from work to go. So instead I went to work on massive amounts of advil/tylenol to mask the recurring fevers. Now, it's the weekend, and I'm having to bail on planned social outings because I am, shockingly, still sick and feverish. Having finally given up, I am admitting that I need antibiotics, but it's the weekend, so I can't do anything about it.

Not my smartest move.

Ah well. Back to the couch to curl under blankets and watch BSG.

I finally went to a doctor yesterday (a walk-in clinic on St. Clair, since I kept getting voice mail when trying to call my own doc), and I should have done it a lot sooner too. No, antibiotics don't work on viruses, but a lot of repsiratory infections are bacterial. In generally, if you're coughing up yellow things, it's usually bacterial... Also, codeine cough syrup FTW.

There are some clinics open on the weekend - you might want to check into that. I'm pretty sure Kettu went to a walk-in clinic around Queen and Spadina on a Sunday when she had strep throat at one point.
