I'm sick. again. its the 4th time in 5 weeks. My body aches. My sinuses are full. My tonsils feel close to bursting. I'm told its allergies. Or something viral. "We will test you for mono." "Come back again, with your $30 copay." "In the meantime, here's your prescription for a drug we've already prescribed to you." "Take some time off to rest." "Come back if you aren't better."
Will stress kill me? Hopefully it would be a quick death, but I have a feeling that if it could kill me, it'd be a long lingering death, full of misery and more needle sticks.
I passed out when they took my blood today. I'm still feeling hinky. I should be in bed, getting the rest I need so desperately. I'm thirsty.
Sick and tired. This should be my name.
