Mostly a note to myself so I remember to go...

Got an appointment at 8:30 tomorrow with Rick's favorite doctor, Dr. R. Here's hoping she'll give me the really good codeine filled cough syrup! Since it's a cold she'll say, "It's a virus, nothing we can do, you'll just have to wait it out" but she can give me the drugs to make the wait more bearable.

Grrrr. Everyone here at work is asking "Didn't you get a flu shot?"
Yes! I got a f**king flu shot! This, however, is NOT THE FLU!!! Therefore the FLU shot makes no difference. When they invent a frickin' COLD shot, then I wouldn't have to suffer this! Then the response is that if you can get sick anyway, what's the point of the flu shot? Have these people not had the flu lately? I'm pretty damn miserable, but if I had the flu instead of a cold, I'd be about 10 times as miserable as I am now!

I haven't been able to get a flu shot for the last two years because of my ailing white blood count (nearly inexistant, apparently). I'm just hoping no one around me gets the flu. : P

I DO have the cure for the common cold, thankfully. I take Valcyte every day (antiviral agent), so I don't get colds or any virus. I wish it was available over the counter.

Poor baby. Get better soon!

influenza is also a virus, so you should be at least safer, there. (stomach flu is a different sort of thing, and is frequently bacterial. no help there, i'm afraid!)
