Still Sick
For the past couple of weeks I've not been feeling too good. First the flu, then that goes to be replaced by some form of cold. I've been coughing up goo and my ear's have been alternating with each other on being gummed up and hurting. "Well, why haven't you been to see the doctor yet?", I hear you ask.
Well, I'm daft. Having grown up in the UK with crap healthcare, you generally don't go to see the doctor unless you're really down with some lurgy, as you have to wait forever as the health system is heavilly overloaded. I sort of got into the habit of thinking that the doctors have got better things to do than see me for a cold/flu when I'm going to get better by myself anyhow.
In the US, and especially with the great medical insurance I get from Microsoft, you can pretty much see anyone anytime you want. I still need to get used to that. The only times I've taken advantage of it I basically turned up and saw my doctor straight away. I still feel guilty for it for some reason!
Anyhow, Nabila called the doctor this morning and set up an appointment for 2pm as she finally got fed up with my procrastination ;-) So I'll be leaving home to head over there in a minute.
As normal though, when I finally get around to seeing someone, I start feeling totally fine again...
