On Sick Leave.. Again!

I haven't recovered from my cough, and it just got worse and worse. I cough so much these 2 days that I thought I might just cough out my lungs one day.

Actually just now, we brought Tara to see Kelly and check if she's okay to go back to school. Tara is totally okay now, just that Kelly felt she should stay home till end of the week just to keep the disease contained.

And since we were there, I ask Kelly for a stronger cough medicine cos the excessive coughing is taking toll on my lungs and throat. There's always this itchiness deep in my throat that can't seem to go away, and never fail to trigger an endless bout of coughing.

And since I'm there, Kelly decided to do a check on me and found that I've got phlegm stuck in my throat, the insides of my nasal were swollen, and I'm running a low grade fever. In the end, instead of getting Tara checked out, I'm the one leaving the clinic with 5 types of medicine and an MC for tomorrow.

I know it's bad to keep taking medical leave from work. Just hope that the rest I get tomorrow will instantly cure me (yeah, I hope) and I'll be fresh at work on Thursday!

Now I'm just waiting for the strong cocktail of medicine to kick in, so I can have an undisturbed rest tonight. Yeah, the coughing is keeping me, and not only me, awake at night. Terrible.
