Mouth-to-Mouth
"Cold" my a$$... when I went to the pharmacy this morning to get some relief for my stuffed up nose, I was greeted by a pharmacist that told me that within the first 15 minutes of their opening hours I was already the fourth one with a flu to come in. Apparently - since it's June and we just got 75cm of fresh snow in the Alpes and the temperatures here don't climb much higher than 17°C when they SHOULD be close to 30°C - a new wave of the flu has found an opportunity to break out.
After I drowned myself in a tea that is the local equivalent to NyQuil last night I had a relatively easy night of sleep, but today what bothers me most is this incredible pressure on my ears that makes me feel like my head is going to implode any second now. My hearing isn't so great to begin with, and now with this added pressure and stuffed-up-ness of them it has gotten just worse, and no amount of yawning or blowing into my pinched nose will open up the congestion.
The Fiancé suspected a fever when he held me last night, yet still I don't feel fucked up enough to qualify for a day of sick leave.
Girl.MD and I have been sending text messages back and forth while the "L-Word" was on TV last night, and she was all sweet and doctor and offered me some "special mouth-to-mouth" treatment next time. If it keeps going like this, I'll have the most expensive phone bill I ever had, simply because of all the text messages I have been sending lately. o_O
