Went from doctor to doctor, passed dozens of tests, he was finally told he could go back to work, but in a new room this time. Goes back to work last Thursday, in the new office: same smell, same secondary effects, he went back to the hospital. They told him he was fine, sent him home with a two days rest period. He spent the weekend here, with nausea, a cough, and quite a high fever, that we brought down with cold showers and Tylenol. Only yesterday did he started to feel a little better.
He went to his doctor this morning, and she says: swine flu!  no testing, no correlation with the problems he had with work, no nothing, just a week of rest!
I feel like throwing something at someone.
Thank you for listening (plus, I feel like I owe you guys an explanation for the disappearing and cold attitude... oh, and the whining too  ) |
