sick (long) weekend

Most people i know had a long weekend as 7 May 2011 was declared a public holiday (GE polling day) and many companies gave off-in-lieu for Monday.

I took mine earlier (6 May) to celebrate but spent most of it being ill with an inflammation of the nasal passages, which left me hazy about the weekend, so much so that Monday and Tuesday was spent at home resting as well (despite an effort to make it into work on Monday). Urgh

This strain of flu is quite virulent and presents itself as inflammed tonsils to begin with (Thurs night) and i quaffed 2 litres of water to try to soothe it, but still woke up the next day with a sore throat and runny nose. Was on antibiotics at this point as the dentist found some inflammation of my wisdom tooth area. I did feel a bit better on Saturday with the throat clearing up but the nose just got worse and developed so much gunk that i got a cough to boot (probably from backflow). Come Monday i thought it was clearing up, but it just got worse and my nose became totally stuck and efforts made to clear it just made my ringing ears worse (although i still tried to clear it). Saw the doc on Monday and was given another course of antibiotics and more meds. Coughed and sneezed up quite abit of the gunk but still feeling groggy on Weds (today). I hate being sick.

So how was your long weekend? LOL
