Now that it is a Monday morning and I am prepared and armed with the phone numbers of half a dozen clinics with sliding fee scales for the uninsured.... I am better.
Yes.
I don't fucking believe this.
I was dying on Saturday.
I had this list of symptoms as long as my goddamn arm that were all absolutely sure to be the signs of something fatal. I was so sure I wasn't even going to make it through the weekend.
Now?
I have a few sniffles left, and a stiff and sore neck from sleeping in it funny.
That one sinus that was hurting ominously? Doesn't anymore.
My ears, that were stuffy and ringing and acutely painful for days?
Fine.
That cough that I thought was going to rip me in half?
Gone.
The headache behind my eyes that had almost convinced me to cut my head off after 9 unceasing days of it?
Eh... if I turn my eyes too sharply they kinda hurt, but other than that, my head's fine.
My nose isn't even stuffy.
Which is just as well because nobody's got any appointments free except for squarely during times when Dave's at school and I am emphatically carless and the buses are at the other side of town, but still.
Yes.
