Dr. Waste of Time?

Today is my 3rd day staying home from work because I'm sick. I don't think I've ever stayed home from work that long because of being ill. And I hate it! I'm going crazy but every time I try to get up to do something, it drains me so quickly. But I have caught up on reading all of my friends/family blogs - which is always fun.

I went to the doctor last night because everyone was telling me that I should go. But I always feel like going to the doctor is somewhat of a waste of time and waste of money. The last couple of times I've been to the doctor - they haven't done squat for me but I pay them a bunch of money to tell me nothing.

The reason I decided to go last night though was because I've had a terrible fever for the last couple of days and I have this awful cough. Well the good dr said I have some viral infection or something and gave me a prescription for cough medicine. It's supposed to make me super tired - which made me really excited seeing as how I haven't slept well since being sick. It does make me tired but I still didn't sleep well last night because I was up COUGHING all night. Isn't that what cough medicine is supposed to do - stop the coughing. Bah - it's so frustrating! All the medicine does is make my head feel really fuzzy. Anyway, so I don't even know if going to the dr was a good call or not. We'll see.

The one advantage to being sick though is that Jake is taking such good care of me. He's so sweet. Kage has even been snuggling with me. Another advantage of having this horrible cough is that my abs are really getting a work out. They are so sore from coughing so much. At this rate, I'll have a 6-pack by the end of the week.

I guess there's always a bright side to things....
