jazzfishFriday: Wake up, notice severe soreness in throat. Think "sinus drain from weather change." Be vaguely spacey all day.
Satyrday: Throat still sore, although maybe a little less so. Notice shortness of breath when walking down a flight of stairs carrying a bag. Think "head cold." Go to farewell party for close friend anyway, followed by gaming until midnight. Zone out in car ride home.
Sunday: Throat less sore, nose stopped up, higher brain functions impeded. Spend day on couch instead of going to belly dance show.
Monday: Spaciness has subsided, throat is slightly worse. Go to work. Chow down decongestants like chalky oval candy. Notice that voice sounds like that of Leonard Cohen's chain-smoking brother. Contemplate the possibility of strep throat.
Tuesday: Wake up with throat in same condition as Friday, and nose stopped up. Admit defeat. Visit "urgent care" clinic; receive urgent care in ~1.5 hours. Acquire diagnosis of "acute sinus infection" and prescription for very large amoxicillin pills. Go to work, perform brainless tasks, make mistake that goes unnoticed until long after time to go home.
Wednesday: Wake up with sensation of "recovering" instead of "being sick." Think "see, i would have been just fine even if i hadn't gone to urgent care." Smack self, remind self of antibiotics. Revel in nose running like faucet instead of being stopped up like drain. Write LJ post.
