So, I've been sick all week, starting Monday. Tuesday I lost my voice and it was completely gone through Thursday.
Today I have a little bit of a voice, but not much. My lungs feel like they are stuck together.
Went to the doctor 2x. First time on Tuesday- standard ridiculous amount of medicine (they give them to you in little packets and you pop a packet with every meal), and some kind of medicine you gargle but don't swallow. It ended up foaming up and I looked like a rabid animal when I took it....
I went back today because I was out of meds and I felt worse today than I have all week (they only give you 3 days worth). The doctor, who looks younger than some of my students, says "chest infection, mokorl (neck) infection. No talking. Mol (water) many many. Teaching ok. Medicine- 3 days. Intramuscle injection. Ah ah ah, butt."
If you only saw my face... no talking, but teaching was ok? I was baffled.
I argued about the shot because I have drug allergies and didn't want to chance it. He said "Shot- better. No shot- no better. Butt please." Needless to say, I have a sore rear-end. :P
These are the adventures of a Waegookin (foreigner)... can't get that in the UK.

Poor thing! I hope you feel better. Teaching is so hard to do when you are sick!
