I'm horrible at being sick. I'm the worst sick person I know. It's kind of like that "Man Flu." (Look in YouTube if you're not sure what that is.) I know I'm a bad patient and I feel sorry for anyone who has to put up with me while I'm not feeling well.
I went to the doctor this morning. I wish I could have taken a picture of how big his eyes were when he looked at my throat. So yeah, strep throat and I'm highly contagious. Forced rest. I guess that's not so bad.
One of the nice things about going to the doctor in Singapore is that they don't charge you an arm and a leg for your visits. The doctor dispenses all the medicine, too, so it saves you from having to go to a pharmacy. For the visit itself and seven prescriptions (yes, count 'em, SEVEN), it was only $90 Singapore dollars. That's just $65 US dollars. That's incredible!
If I had to choose when to get sick, now would probably be the ideal time. We leave for the US in less than three weeks, so by then I should be back to my healthy self and no worries for sickness on the airplane. The only one of us that hasn't been sick yet is the girl. The boy had strep throat about two or three weeks ago. I caught my strep from Marso, who is too stubborn to go to the doctor when he's sick and would much rather pass his nasty germs on to his innocent wife. Nice.
Do us all a favor if you're not feeling well. Go to the doctor. Stay home from work. Quit passing it on to us innocent bystanders.
