This sucks. I got home from work yesterday and we ate dinner and watched some TV. As the evening went on, my throat started to get sore and then more sore. By the time I went to bed, my throat was full-on swallowing razor blades feel and I was feverish, shivering and achy. Was up most of the night; just kept waking up because I felt so awful. By the time Love got up and was getting ready for work, I knew it was official: I was sick.
I called and left a message like 5:45am for my boss letting him know I was sick (and most likely contagious) and that I was going back to bed. I took some Benadryl to help sleep and went back to bed. Now my whole body is violently achy. I feel like every part of my body has badly cramped up and left me all stiff and inflexible. Ugh. It’s unbelievable how bad I hurt. Seriously, it’s just miserable.
I really can’t be missing time from work but what can I do? Sick is sick. Not to mention, coming in sick and getting the rest of the team sick does no good whatsoever. I wish companies would realize a little more about the benefits of staying home when you’re ill. I’m off tomorrow since it’s Wednesdays (and I’m always off on Wednesdays) so hopefully with today and tomorrow, maybe I’ll start feeling better. I’m just worried because last time I got sick and it started with a sore throat, it turned in a 2-week flu where I lost my voice entirely. I do NOT want that to happen again.
Dammit though, I feel like shit. Which totally and completely sucks.
