• A case for the flu shot...

  I guess I should give a bit of a "back story" for this post...

  Without going into too much detail...I'm sick as a dog.  I'm 99% sure I have the flu.  Let me tell ya about it...

  Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain/cramps, lack of appetite, cold symptoms, body aches (mostly my back), dry hacking cough, sore throat, and massive ear infection (which includes the good 'ol extra symptoms of dizziness and not being able to hear sh*t!)...  I got sick Thursday sometime between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm.  How do I know?  Cause I was sitting in class when I realized "wow, I feel like crap".  A common characteristic of the flu is that you can pin point the time you started having symptoms.

  I continued to feel worse and worse but I went to work on Saturday anyway.  That was a mistake.  Had I realized just how sick I really was I would have stayed home...but anyway...that day around noon my ear started hurting.  I thought I'd lay down at the station and maybe I'd feel better.  Nope.  By 4:00 pm my ear was crackling and popping and (there is no delicate way of putting this) stuff was draining out of it.  I was in excruciating pain so I took a few hours off and went to the ER.  They put me on 875 mg of amoxocillin (sp?) twice a day.  They also gave me some kind of drops that help numb my ear...but anyway...my stupid ass continued to work until Monday morning.  I'm taking tomorrow off though...because honestly, if I try to work in this condition I'll end up ripping someone's spine out their ass!  lol...seriously, I wouldn't wish this sh*t on my worst enemy.

  I've never been this sick in my entire life.  I have learned my lesson about flu shots...I'LL F**KING TAKE IT NEXT YEAR!!!!  lol...honestly.
