Off sick
So I have been off sick since last Friday. Well that's the time I've actually been not working, I came down sick last Wednesday.
I have an interesting combination of sinusitis and bronchitis. It started as a cold, ans as I had already worked from home the previous day, I just told everyone I would be doing that again. On Thursday I had a killer headache and called the doctor who unfortunately couldn't take me until the next day. I still managed to work most of the day, still from home though.
Friday I went to see the doctor and he said the cold had turned to sinusitis he gave me a short (3 days) course of antibiotics and something to "fluidify" things.
On Saturday night I started coughing, really, really bad.
The cough had got so bad by Monday that the doctor has given me codeine tablets. This combined with the ibuprofen and the rest of the stuff has made me very drowsy indeed. Most of the time I can barely stay awake a couple of hours before dozing off again. Plus my skin has gone all sensitive and I itch at the slightest provocation.
This brings me to the conclusion that anyone taking a codeine/anti-inflammatory combination recreationally must be insane. The effect is quite simply horrible.
