Two weeks ago almost everyone in my department was getting sick. When I did payroll on Friday, I joked that the entire $3 billion slush fund that the Tories and Liberals are arguing about was needed just to pay our departments sick time. About the same time my staff came back, I got sick and I can’t remember being this sick with a cold.
I have pneumonia and in my efforts to cough it out, I actually cracked a rib. My entire body hurts when I cough which isn’t good as I need to cough violently every 3 minutes or so.
Friday night we were supposed to go out and celebrate my 35th Birthday. Mark had suggested bowling and I was looking forward to bowling some ten pin (which I had never done before) with some friends. I felt okay enough to go out but I wasn’t going to toss even a five pin ball rather than a ten pin one. Instead I watched everyone else, made fun of them, talked about how Calgary stunk out the joint and sipped a Diet Pepsi. It was a good time despite the pain.
Friday night I was finally able to actually sleep thanks to expectorant and some night time DM. This weekend I have tried to sleep as much as I could and I have just hung out at home and coughed up more phlegm. Fun times for all of us.
I am down to a sore throat and a bit of an ear ache. It’s the best I have felt in a week.
