sickly

The other day when I said I was sick, I didn't know how sick I was going to get. My chest was congested on Monday and I kept coughing and my back hurt a little but it was manageable. Tuesday morning, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. My whole body ached and my chest was hurting. I still got up and went to class but by 11 I was shivering and figured it was time to go to the doctor. FLU. He said I looked better than most people who had come in with the flu so I guess if I am going to feel bad I might as well look good doing it ;) He gave me some good ole Tamiflu and I went home to sleep. To be on my way to becoming a Pharmacist, I don't like to take medicine. I will tough out a sore throat before I take meds or go to the doctor. I don't know why. I didn't even take tylenol for my fever. However, I SWEAR by Tamiflu. It is a miracle drug for the flu. Yesterday stunk. I hurt, I was freezing, and I was tired. But today I felt like a new woman. I even cleaned my room. When I went to the doctor, he told me I could wait a few more days and see how I felt or go ahead and get some medicine. Normally I would have chosen to wait but when Tamiflu is the other option it is a no brainer. I am still going to skip class tomorrow because I have a doctor's excuse.

Since I am not going to class, I think I am going to go chop my hair off. I am nervous. I love my long hair and it took me a long time to get it this long. I found a program through Pantene called Beautiful Lengths that lets you donate your hair to make wigs for cancer patients but you only have to have 8 inches instead of the 10 for locks of love. Since my grandmother lost all of her hair going through chemo, I really want to do this so that someone else can have a sweet little wig. I mean I do have pretty, super soft, never dyed, dark hair and tons of it. who wouldn't want it?!? :)

I will post a before and after once i get it done (if i dont chicken out)
