Sick on a Weekend

Dear Papa P,

Still on my colds chronicles. Sorry if I'm bombarding you with random thoughts while I am sick. Thing is, I do not have work and, therefore, have nothing good to do except bombard you with sick thoughts. Or, I mean, thoughts while I am sick.

Today, I really do not have much thoughts.

I went to the doctor for a 2pm follow-up check-up and found myself at the clinic a quarter before two and 15th in queue for a doctor who will be coming in an hour late.

Headed to booksale to get a book to kill time with. The search looks like it will be longer than the wait in queue. Great.

Got an award winning book for P25.00 at Booksale (yey!), ate late lunch at Bo's Coffee (read the unfortunate review) and got to speak with the doctor a few minutes past 6pm. (Damn!)

The doc had my sinus X-rayed last Thursday and I was wishing they won't find a tumor made of pure booger on my tiny nose.

They didn't. But they found some kind of shit lodged in my sinus so I'm supposed to down at least six tabs every 12 hours for at least a week and antiobiotics for the next three weeks. The tabs burned almost three thousand pesos. I have never spent so much on medicine in my entire life. If medicine for common colds is so damned expensive, I wonder how many people die of it or of complications from it.

I slept the whole Sunday (January 19) and had to cancel dinner with my brods (sisters) from college. They didn'y mind cancelling knowing that I wasn't feeling well.

I'm actually quite touched with the number of people sending messages to ask how I am. Although I feel really horrible, it is, after all, just common colds.

I'm feeling better now except for the sore throat. I guess the drug attack and the snooze-fest did me good.
