Sick Call

It's official: I have the flu, along with 4 other people on my team. I wasn't feeling too hot yesterday morning so I went to the doctor. Unfortunately, I had taken Advil for my headache, so if I had a slight fever, it was gone. So the murse practitioner sent me off with a mere "get out of PT" note.

Well, last night, I definitely became worse. I had a wicked fever, and I felt like death. It was pretty awful. This morning I felt a little better, but as I was at muster, I almost threw up. So I, along with my fellow teammate, Andrew, went to sick call again. I saw the same murse as yesterday and told him I was feeling worse and the only way I could lay in bed all day was if I came to sick call again. This time, he said he thinks I have some sort of flu, put me on Tamiflu, and swabbed my nose and throat. I'm getting tested for H1N1 and a bacterial infection. Oh, and I also have a small fever of 99 this morning (I'm gonna say last night my fever was around 101). The nurse said if I actually had H1N1 (which I probably don't), that by the time the results came back, I would be much worse and end up coming back before then.

Anywho, I'm taking the day to rest and drink fluids. I really hope I feel a lot better tomorrow!
