You want me to what!!!!!

I spent the 5 days after my birthday in my apartment coughing and spluttering and taking pills. Caught the Jap. flue and bronchitis and was not feeling so flash for a bit there.

Went to a the hospital/medical centre on the Tuesday and was laughed at by the people on reception...yes i know I can't speak Japanese and i do look funny but...please help me.....they did and i appreciated them very much....Nurses came running...and led me to a cubicle...which i discivered was the gents??? they then handed me a paper cup...giggled and left.....I was stunned for a moment and then realised they wanted a sample!!! well could have been worse...my friend Jeff had a hands on procedure in his nether regions...so i can't complain......
i was then given a check-up and given 4 types of medicine...antibiotics...cold medicine...cough medicine and phlegm medicine!!!
felt like a walking dispensary....

Jusrt want to say a BIG THANK-YOU to Leah who kept me company via c-mail over the week....She is a GEM that girl and a blessing from God!

I was told by the school to basically stay away that week....but later told i would have to take nenque...mmm...i don't think so.....I just patiently dug my heels in...showed them my contract...sent a few polite e-mails to the BOE and got it sorted. 5 days sick leave thanks.

I am thankful that I was able to take time away from work to recover and that I got better within a few days without any nasty lingering effects...Praise God!
