It has been 2 weeks to the day that H has been home from work and I hope to god he is going back today! I mean not working for 2 weeks because of a cold??? Who is out of work for 2 weeks with a cold?? For that matter, who is out for 1 week with a cold?? I'm sorry, but that is WAY over the top. You go to the doctor and get something to help you get better or simply suck on cough drops all day. He went back in last Tuesday and coughed so hard that he threw up so they sent him home and told him not to come back until he's over his coughing. He had actually lied to his boss that day saying he'd be in after his "doctor's appt" that morning so took his own sweet time getting to work and didn't get there until 1PM when he should have been there by 10AM. Actually texted his boss saying "My appt was at 10 but it's now 11 and I'm still waiting to be seen". No you aren't. You are sitting at home playing your video game. Then he turns around and comes home within an hour of getting to work anyways knowing he wouldn't be back the rest of the week even if he did feel better.

He tells me on Thursday that he really needs to go see a doctor. Never leaves the house. Tells me Friday he needs to go see the doctor. I stay home that day as well because I'm coughing a bit but mostly because I want to make sure he goes to the doctor. When I go out that morning to get groceries I say to him "Are you getting yourself to the doctor today?" and I get a very terse "I'm working on it okay!". No you're not. You are sitting on the couch in your robe. I come home an hour later and he's sleeping on the couch. After 15 minutes he goes and sleeps on the bed until almost 4PM. By that time he isn't going to go to the clinic because it's too late even though they are open until 7PM. Doesn't go on Saturday and seems fine. Then on Sunday night he once again says to me "I really need to go see a doctor". I say to him "Well you should have gone on Thursday or Friday when you said you were going to go!" and he goes "Yes I know". So I think that maybe on Monday he'll go. Nope. He did leave the house to get his hair cut, go to McDonalds and buy $60 worth of pot at the pot shop though, but couldn't go to the walk-in clinic!
