I don't think I'll be able to get a doctor's appointment after being sick for just one week. I'll just be told to call back if it hasn't gotten any better/gotten worse after x amount of time. And I don't think it's a pneumonia; I feel too good for that.
And every day is getting a little bit better. I'm sleeping okay now, tonight I'll switch to my normal pillow. I'm coughing more, but that's because my throat's itchy because it's healing.
I think it's hitting me hard this time is because it can. In the past I've always had work and other responsibilities (especially the last couple of years) which I think prevented me from getting a properly sick from a cold. I just wouldn't let myself. Now I'm in between jobs, sure I've got my share of cooking and cleaning the apartment, but I can take all day if I need to.
But because of my coughing I'll stay at home today. My sister won't be happy about that, she'll have to refill my mother's medication.
