The ultimate - 8 days MC! (Part III)

Since I've been feeling better, I want to test if I could stop at the 1st course of antibiotics. (I really don't like medications).

Made my trip down to the clinic to meet Dr. J, I think she's glad that I went back for a review.

Told her that I was feeling much better and I can sleep better at night plays a big part.
Asked if I can stop my antibiotics, she says if you are well, you can stop. And she started examining me with her stethoscope.

I still got phlegm stuck in my body (I actually don't know where there are....)
She instructed to continue with the antibiotics and gave me another 2 days of MC. I was shocked. I think she can read from my face, she said, "HQ, just look at yourself, you are not fit to go back to work." Yeah, I do look pale.

On a better note, she said I'm recovering and I look less "dead" since Monday. (yay!)
I can't go back to office because this is going to spread to others quickly in the office environment. I'm still weak and if I feel tired I may be hit by another round of infection. (yikes!)

Okay, I shall stay home.

She also gave me an expectorant which will help me to get the phlegm out of my body, I'm resistant.
My throat is still sore from all the coughing and now I had to cough my phlegm out again.......... argh.

In the morning I usually spend some time coughing. Not that I like to get the phlegm out but it was uncontrollable. Eventually, it decided to relieve me by leaving my body. It was not a nice colour and it was blood steak in it! (boo)

I don't want to take the expectorant!

Called the clinic to check if I can skip it but Dr. J says it's normal, like you blow your nose too much you are bound to break some vessels. But she gave me the freedom to decide for myself regarding the expectorant. 

I decided to give the throat a 1-day break and take the expectorant the next day.

It's the weekend! The thought of my pile of work kept creeping into my mind. I'm feeling stressed.

Anyway the phlegm has turned clear but it's still there and currently it is blocking my right ear. (why?.....)

I'm thinking of heading to office to retrieve my laptop and get a head start over the weekend. 

Monday I need to go back to Dr. J and she wants to see me, (I hope for the last time) and I'll be cleared of this bacteria infection and go on with my life!

-feeling positive! (about my condition, not about my work though)-
