A week filled with cough

What a week this has been. Was kinda sick last Thursday, and thinking that it was a mild thing, I did not go to see doctor. What a bad choice, I was coughing so badly come Monday that my supervisor actually asked me to go home early. Went to see a doctor then and was told I have infection. Put on medication for a few days.

The next day, after taking the prescribed medicine the night before, I woke up feeling extremely dizzy and disoriented. After getting my bearings a little, I thought I could go to work... wrong thought, after washing up my face and coming out of the toilet, I once again feeling disoriented. Feeling that something is not right, I called up the clinic that I went to (thank GOd it was a 24 hours clinic) and spoke to the doctor. He said that it's due to the medication and thus, reduced my dosage on the phone...Gave me MC for the day (which I went to take at 4 something in the evening) and proceeded to sleep! This sleep is not the normal sleep, but rather, drug induced sleep... sigh...

Nonetheless, I have a good rest on Tuesday... thinking that things would be better as the week goes on... wrong again. I was coughing the minute I stepped into the office! The ironic thing is, I'm NOT coughing when I'm at home! Must be due to the ventilation (or lack of it) in the office.. sigh.. been having serious coughing fit... bad bad... my colleague actually asked me to get MC for a few more days to recuperate.. but the thoughts of taking MC and having the need to come back and close the cases enough to cover it gives me the shivers.

One thing though, I thank God that my aunt work place is not so far from mine, hence I've been getting free rides from her. Am able to rest some to and fro work.. really thank God for that. Getting free rides means coming home early too.. and have been resting and not doing much stuff....

Tomorrow's SAturday, but am due to some training required at work. Sigh, gone is the idea that I can at least rest at home on weekends. Sunday would again be another long day for me... with class in the morning and church service later of the day. Gotta pray hard that I will get well soon.
