Just got back from the doctor a little while ago. Seems I have an ear infection and a sinus infection. They were worried about pneumonia, but the x-rays showed I didn't have it. The Flu quick test showed I didn't have the flu any more. I've got a couple of drugs the doctor is having me take, and I should be back at work in a couple of days, once my fever stays below 100.
Went the the hospital and yes, many hours of waiting. Alice baby-sat me through that and the past couple of nights. This weekend would have been much more difficult without her around taking care of me. Francois (roommate) was very helpful too, but I accidentally repaid him by letting him catch my flu. (sorry)
It looks like I hopped from the flu last week (and 103F temps) to something less painful but more annoying this week, without a break. I've some antibiotics, and I should be feverless in a few days. Sadly, it'll still leave me weak for a few weeks.
The short form: fever is staying below 101F and should be gone in 2 days or so.
