Casa De Morrill

Last night ended in a trip to an Urgent Care center. We couldn’t get in to see Sean’s doctor (I don’t have one yet out here) and we were both hesitant to hit up an actual hospital, knowing how bad the waits can get there. Thankfully, Urgent Care facilities are covered by my insurance. The reason for this trip?
A sustained fever between 99 - 101^ for over 36 hours. I know that fevers are the body’s way of burning out ickies, but I didn’t think it should take 36 hours to burn out the ickies. The result was a 2 hour visit to the Ahwahtukee Urgent Care Facility, 15 minutes drive from our home.

The doctor diagnosed me with a viral infection that has spread into a sinus infection. I am now on three different drugs (Amoxicillin, Robitussin w/ Codeine and prescription strength Sudafed) plus Tylenol for my fever. All my drugs sit downstairs on the kitchen counter with sticky notes in front of them indicating when I should take each one again. Yes, I know that’s sad, but when they all have different doses at different times, I can’t keep it all straight.

Upon getting home around 1:00am this morning, I quickly sent an e-mail to my boss informing him that there was no way, unless a miracle occurred, that I was going to be in to work in the morning. I figured the time stamp would stress the issue. Miracle did not occur. Thus, day 3 in the sick log. Cabin fever is about to drive me nuts. *twitch*
