Welcome to The Sickies
It's 10 PM Thursday night. I just got home after a 12-hour work day, 8 of which were in the classroom. My voice is hoarse and my legs are about to go on strike.
When I got home, Bill was lying on the couch watching a documentary. He's been suffering from an ear infection and tonight, his entire body aches. His temperature's 37.2 Celsius. He doesn't have a fever.
I asked if he had fed Nuage while he was making himself a peanut butter jelly burrito, but he didn't react. I asked him again and this time, he turned and asked if I had said something. We soon realized.....
he couldn't hear what I said and I couldn't say it any louder.
Welcome to the sickies. We hope you'll stay and take care of both of us for a while.
I guess Bill(y) is his mother's son! I have been sick since last Thursday. I spent 2 months in California and a week after I came back to Oregon and my family, I got sick. I guess I can't take my own family's germs! Started with a horrible sore throat, then went to sinus, and ear, then moved to chest. My right ear has been so full of fluid that I feel like I am under water. I have been on antibiotics for 7 days, and today is the first day that my ear is starting to open up. I was having a hard time hearing too. I have a very dry cough, that I have been told lasts for weeks..whoopee...
