shoulda listened to the doctor...

i woke up today unable to speak - how awesome is that? i also only slept three hours because stupid alka-seltzer plus night cold only lasts about 4 hours. maybe my body is just really resistant to sedatives now, who knows.

so i emailed my teachers to let them know there's no way in hell i could drag myself in(they've all gotta think i'm making this shit up - flu one week, docs appointments another, wikkid cold this week... wtf?!) and to see if i can make up whatever we do in classes today.

so after some water and a couple sprays of chloroseptic i have a hoarse 50-year-old lounge singer voice. awesome :P. and i still have to work goddamnit.

oh, and my next back thinger is on nov 5. i have to get an IV and a CT scan and all kinds of other abbreviated things. i'm not pleased.

can i just stop being sick/injured already? i'm so tired of all of this.

i have the same issues with otc remedies. if it says it lasts 12 hours, im typically only good for about three. actually, three hours is pretty much the max regardless of how long its *supposed* to work for. i dont remember how credible my source was, but i remember reading/hearing somewhere that its like that with people who have been addicts. that a theraputic dosage is typically higher in those who have addiction problems. kinda makes sense, but i dont know the science behind it. i do know its like that for me though, i even need more novocaine when im at the dentist or getting stitches. hope you feel better!
