Sick Day :( - Blogabond

I ended up having to stay home sick today. I have completely lost my voice among the other miserable things that would keep me from teaching effectively. Most importantly, I felt that staying home would keep me from infecting any other children. I got into a doctor who diagnosed me with infective pharyngitis. Bascially.... my vocal cords are infected. He gave me a prescription for a knock-off penicillan that I have to take on an empty stomach 3 times a day for 5 days. The strange thing was that when I took my prescription out of the bag, I found that the pharmacy not only gave me 15 pills...but FIFTY! I'm simply going to take them until I finally feel 100% better (at LEAST 5 days though!). The doc also gave me instructions to rest my voice - like THAT is going to happen. I'm a TEACHER.

Oh well. Hopefully I'll feel well enough to return tomorrow. I only have 13 days left with those little guys and want to maket he most of it! Even if my teaching consists of me writing everything I want to say on the board. :)

Think of me... because I'm often thinking of you all :)
