Well, I got my wish, except for the fact that I couldn't watch TV or read because I felt so horrible, and it hurt my eyes. The whole time I was sick, I was wishing I could be at work, doing something, which I find completely ironic. I do love work, but I also love having some free time. Unfortunately this wasn't really free time, it was more like designated sick time where I couldn't do anything that I wanted to do.
I got so sick, that I finally forced myself to go to a doctor for the first time in 3 years. I have to be honest though, I really hate going to the doctor. Anyway, I finally went, and he told me I had a sinus infection and Sinusitis. He wrote me out some prescriptions, and told me what I needed to do. I had to go the store and get my prescriptions, which was a huge task for me that day.
I also need to say that Wal-Mart could possibly have the slowest pharmacy in the world. OK, so that is probably an exaggeration, but that is how I felt that night. I waited for almost an hour, while being horribly sick. Anyone who has been through something like that knows what I am talking about. So, I walked around the store, doing my best not to pass out, while I waited for the pharmacist to fill my prescription. I also purchased some Nyquil, and other things to help the rest of my sickness pass as smooth, and pain-free, as possible.
In the process of being sick, I lost a weekend of fun, two work days, which amounts to about 200 dollars lost, and a day of class. I learned that being busy isn't a bad thing while you're healthy, and that I should be thankful for every moment I have, even if it's while working or going to school. I need to remember to be grateful for being healthy, especially since I know so many people who are chronically ill.
Anyway, the whole point of this is to warn everyone to be careful what you wish for, and to be grateful for everything you have!
