Yes, yes - for the record, I went to the doctor's office on my way home from work yesterday. I'm not totally hopeless. And he told me pretty much what I already knew - it's a nasty strain of the flu, it's been going around the base like mad, taking new waves of people as they get off leave (the fact that I couldn't find ginger ale in any of the gas stations near the base should have tipped me off), and it takes 7-10 days to run its course. Which means I have anywhere from 2-5 days left. Get lots of sleep, keep your fluids up, stick with the orange juice and crackers, etc.
He gave me drugs, but I can't drive if I take them, which limits them to when I get home from work only. Yesterday was proof positive that trying to work those last few hours before driving home undrugged was a bad idea, so today...I'm not. Dayquil is good for six hours, so I work six hours, drive home, take Super Drugs, then sleep. I think I can survive this - especially if I get room babysitting duty today, which pretty much involved being a warm, semi-aware body in a room downstairs. That, I can handle.
