AAAAAAAARGH.

I can't stop coughing. I am in great discomfort and want it to be OVER. NOW. PLEASE. Feels like someone is gently scratching the inside of my throat with pins. Sharp ends of. Want to stop being ill, please. Not good to have this much time off work so soon after last sick time (which was, admittedly only two days and for something totally different and subsequently jusified by medical diagnosis, but still. Do not want to be seen as sick-day queen).

Argh. Argh ow ow ow argh cough splutter argh cough cough argh ow.

Sorry I am so whingy. Hopefully normal service resumed soon.

You have every right to be whingy. Being sick is awful. Besides, what better place to whinge than your journal? So there. *hugs* Whinge away. Except get better, so you don't have to.

I kind of would, but it's just flu. They're going to say 'Ah yes, you have flu. Go to bed, take some painkillers, drink lots of fluids, and keep doing it till things improve.' Which is pretty much what I'm doing anyway. There've got to be plenty of people with more serious illnesses who need to see doctors. I just happen to really hate having a sore throat.

Hm. That's what hoiho said every few days for about 2 weeks, during which time he didn't get any better, until I finally made him go to the doctor & it turned out he had tonsilitis... :-/

In the meantime, though, gargling with soluble aspirin is really good for sore throats.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

I'll try the aspirin. If I am not better by Saturday morning I will probably make a doctor's appointment for Monday.
