doctor: so, tell me what's been going on.
me: well, on thanksgiving my left lymph node started hurting and a couple days later my right lymph node started hurting. then this thursday night i had the full blown flu.
doctor: what were the symptoms thursday night?
me: achey muscles, fever, headache and extreme weakness.
doctor: mhm, anything else?
me: i go in the cycles of high fever and freezing so that my toes and fingers get numb, then i get really super hot and im soaking wet in sweat.
doctor: you said you have a sore throat?
me: yeah, but it only started yesterday which is odd.
doctor: okay, lets check your temperature. *she uses the little ear majig to check* right now you're at 102.
me: wow, thats funny because i actually feel better today.
doctor: do you have any elderly or babies living with you?
me: hu uh
doctor: good, that means we dont have to worry about getting them started on medication.
me: okay
doctor: basically, your getting your ass kicked by this flu.
me: *audible laugh*
doctor: this will have you down for another two weeks, but it would kill an older person or a baby.
me: *OMG! written across my face*
doctor: keep doing what you're doing, drinking liquids, eating when you can, taking IB Profin, and getting lots of rest.
me: okay.
doctor: would it help to have a note for work?
me: yes, definitely.
