Not fun

Ok, when I get sick, it can't just be a cold or something. For the past several days, I have been very very sick which is no fun when you can't get your hands on good medicines that you know will work. I've been taking the expectorant that was recommended and I am worshipping Benny, the restaurant owner we visit every Friday because he can go on military bases and get American medicines. The night before last night I spiked quite a fever (too high for our thermometer which only went up to about 101 degrees and could hardly breathe. I then proceeded to throw up about every hour that night which is no easy thing when you've only had a few bites of food the day before. We contemplated the hospital but pulled through until we could get to a doctor yesterday that is more English friendly. I think I frightened him a bit when he realized he'd have to touch these massive boobs to hear my chest, hehehe. He examines me, sighs, then says, well she is really congested. No kidding. But now I'm on 10 days of antibiotics, expectorants (Benny got us mucinex but we couldn't get it til yesterday), and a wonderful cough syrup with codeine in it. So last night was a good sleep and today I am coughing up a storm but feel better than I have all week. Maybe I can actually leave the apartment today! Poor mom has had to play house maid so now I need to do something nice for her. So that's what I've been up to lately.
