Waiting for the PA to call me back about some Tamiflu. I just dont want to start taking it if it's not the flu and waste the package that I do have. (old package, expires in April 2010) Which is why I called to ask if I should take it or not, or if I need to go see the PA and find out if it is the flu.


I hope this is just a cold. I hate being sick. But, I really dont want to have the flu.

edited to add:

It's not swine... Yaaaaaay! and Whew!!!

I have no fever, no headache, and no sore throat...and I'm able to get up and walk around without feeling like death warmed over. Said if I had swine flu, I sure wouldnt be up walking around or sitting around posting on forums on my computer.


They told me to sleep sitting up if I can (got my trusty wedge pillow) and to drink tons of water and to go to sleep if I can. (I'm in Insomnia Hell right now) I was coughing so badly earlier because I was laying down flat...plus, I forgot to take my Prilosec and the ever-not-so-fun acid reflux was making itself known.

I actually felt better when I went upstairs to get some 7-Up and say hi to my mom. I'm just tired from not sleeping and coughing a bunch earlier. (cough if I lay down, but not when I'm standing or sitting)

I told my mom that if the cleaning lady is uncomfortable cleaning our house while I have a cold, that it's ok with me if we wait another week...but if she just doesnt want to come downstairs, I can get by with a dirty toilet a little longer. (or, I can clean it myself later if I feel like it)

I'm staying in my room for the rest of the day and am going to stay away from the cleaning lady so she doesnt blame me if she catches a cold.

I'm just glad the PA at the doctor's office said it's just a cold. I havent had one for a couple of years and forgot just how much I hate having colds. Also forgot what a cold felt like.

Naptime! I hope the cleaning lady doesnt make too much noise when she gets here in an hour...I want more than an hour of sleep.
