I'm So Sick Of This!
For the fifth straight night, I woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning. Thankfully, for the first time this week, I was able to get back to sleep. I have been fighting some type of head cold/flu for about a week and when the doctor prescribes rest and you can’t rest, that’s not a good thing. I went back to see the good doctor this morning and she said my “viral infection” had become a “bacterial infection”. All I know is that I feel crappy. This was the second time I had seen the doctor this week. The first time she prescribed a cough syrup. Today, I got a stronger cough syrup and an antibiotic pill. With my wife working, we are one of the fortunate ones who still have health insurance, but even with that, this little inconvenience can add up. Two doctor visits -- $20. First round of prescriptions -- $7. Second round of prescriptions -- $37. Over the counter meds -- $15. Get out the calculator, carry the one -- that’s $79, so far. Thankfully, that $79 is not going to break...
