Was talking with a colleague today about the bug going around and he said he had it for about 2 weeks, finally going on antibiotics to get rid of the bacterial respiratory infection. As my plegm is already turning colors (my bellweather for bacterial infection), I called my doc's office to see about coming in on Friday. The nurse asked me my symptoms, then said, "we'll call in a prescription." Efficient. Guess it is pretty prevalent right now. So a trip to CVS and now I'm taking ultracef and some other horse pill. Fun. But if it clears this up (including the annoying swollen lymph node and funny little rash), I'll be a perfectly happy camper. Now if only I could sleep for about 5 days solid...
