Day 6 with Hong Kong H3N2, which apparently wasn't covered by this winter's flu shot... Anita's quarter-bottle of leftover codeine cough syrup is long gone. I want to get more at Urgent Care but I don't want to sit in a waiting room with 50 other sick people only to be accused of drug-seeking behavior and prescribed DXM, which is as effective against H3N2 as grape soda. Too sick to sleep, too tired to work and too contagious to attend any of the many New Year's parties to which I wasn't invited.
