It's been a rough week. After accidentally scratching my cornea I had to see an ophthalmologist and get on a steroid for several days of bedrest where I couldn't work. Please understand that I have not been sick in 3-4 years. I seldom have a need to leave my home and as such my human interactions are quite far and few between. Consequently, I never contact an illness.
But, as luck would have it, in the waiting room at that eye doctor, I contracted the flu from a patient sitting near me and have spent the last week terribly ill.
I'm now off work for the second time in as many weeks and am loaded up with Codeine, antibiotics, inhalers, and breathing treatments for the next few days.
Still, I managed to have a bit of fun - This afternoon I took my wife and her mother on a date and treated them to a screening of
Singin' in the Rain. It was her late grandmother's favorite film.
*Related Fun Fact* - Gene Kelly reportedly had quite a fever during the shooting of the legendary
"Singin' in the Rain" scene, so at least I have some good company.
