Caught with the Cooties in Cootieville!!

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been out of sorts. No no...more like a HOT MESS!!! I am THE worse sick person to be around, but this time it was a bit worse!!!
You should know by now that I am a self diagnoser...I know, I know....I am not a doctor, but hell, aren't they still in "practice"?
I decided, I was coming down with "something"...then I decided it was possibly strep throat...then possibly tonsilitis...by Monday morning, 5am...I decided that if a doctor didn't do something I was gonna flip out. LOL!!
So, I walked over to the hospital at about 5:15AM, Monday morning. I won't mention the name of the hospital, but what I will say is that if your in need of one and you just so happen to be in my neighborhood, call me and I'll direct you into Manhattan!
*First...I had to wait 30 minutes to be put on the list for Triage.
*Then, they ask you the famous question....So, your not feeling well? ( You don't think?)
*After...they make you wait in a chair for more than 30 more minutes, surrounded by other cootie people...as they are sneezing, coughing, and itching in my direction, only to ask you to stand up at the desk to register, which takes another 20 minutes...only to ask you AGAIN...Are you not feeling well?...DO THEY REALLY THINK I JUST CAME THERE EARLY IN THE FREAKING MORNING FOR NOTHING?!?!?!
Tell me why, after I see the doctor shaking a guys hand, who is sneezing into his hands, and has a rash all over his body, wants to shake my hand? Uhhh, NO!!!!! The doctor is trying to give me the Cooties to the third power!!!

The end result...drum roll please......I have an ear & throat infection! ONLY ME!!!!

I manage to do the impossible!!! I don't know how I got it, but what I do know is that there were 6 other people there with me who had the same thing I did. Just wanted to give you a heads up!!!

Some things you should know about Sick Amber...
Leave her be
Don't touch her
Don't ask her about past, current, or future plans until she feels better......
If by chance you decide to do the opposite of any of these things....she WILL believe that she is not important to you, and you could care less about her actually BEING sick.

No person actually wants to be sick, but sometimes you need to take the time and rest in order to get back to 100% of yourself. I never believed that your body can tell you to slow down, until it made me.
