Well, I almost made it through the week! At noon my coughing body said "this is it, we're going home!" I phoned my doctors office and had a wonderful conversation with a woman who spoke this much English "doctor L. on vacation" I asked whether the other doctor was available and she replied "doctor L. on vacation", finally I gave up and a co-worker directed me to a walk in clinic. I arrived there and went up to the fourth floor to be informed that the Walk In doctor wasn't in today. I was directed to another clinic across the street where I waited, and coughed, for 1.5 hours. Finally, I was given anti-biotics and a puffer but couldn't have cough medicine because "we don't prescribe narcotics" WTF! So this weekend will be rest (and I scored some left over cough medicine from STBX who stashes her left overs). Wow, I really thought I was gonna get through this little bug with no time off work...so much for little miracles!
