Sickly

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!
