Not much will keep me out of the clinic. I even drag my sick children in and have them sleep aside my computer. They get to drift into dreamland while I float in and out of the patient’s room. I can check on them all the while I get my work done. And when I’m sick, I tend to barrel through it.
But today I caved. I had to call off. Sore throat and a runny nose I can take. Myalgias go away with Motrin.
But Acute Gastroenteritis needs the tincture of time. Besides I figure the parents would appreciate me not superinfecting their kids. I hope.
So I made that call today. “I’m sorry, I don’t think I can make it in.” And then I dropped the kids off hurriedly at their respective spots today and I headed back to bed. Snuggled under the sheets with my two overly stuffed pillows and my in badly need of replacement queen sized bed, I slept for another 4 hours.
Now I’m nursing a headache. I can’t tell if it’s mild dehydration or lack of coffee- Please Honey get better and make me some coffee (Figuring out the art of coffee has yet to be my strong suit).
I’m trying little pedialyte right now - it’s salty and all I have- and moving on to Medicine Mondays over at my other blog- MommyMD.org.
