moral is don't shower or you will get a fever.

I despise being sick.  I hate not having all of my senses ad feeling fuzzy all the time.  

Unfortunately, I seem to get sick quite often, a few times a year I get really sick and it is terrible.  I had the flu the week before fall semester started and then again now over the holidays.  A week into the break (christmas eve day) I ended up with a sore throat, a cough, and a fever.  Of course in my town there is the walk in clinic, and the hospital.  At the hospital if you go to emergency they will make you wait for five hours or so, and the walk in clinic is closed for FOUR days for the holidays.  Obviously I would get sick on the first of those days and be stuck lying in bed dying because we don't go to the hospital.  (my mom hates going to the doctors and so we rarely go.)

So I had to stay home and be sick for christmas eve, christmas, and boxing day.  I felt so sick I could not even think straight and I just had crazy brain.  For a while I was convinced that if I took a shower or put a blanket on, it would give me a fever.  It sounds crazy now, but my fever would go away and then I would shower and it would be back afterwards.  Or I would bundle up in some blankets, and SURPRISE! Fever time.

Finally this morning, day five of sickness, we went to the walk in clinic and they only take the first 20 people that come each day.  We were there by 8:25 and it turns out the doctor called in sick so the walk in was cancelled... 

They are closed for four days and then the first day they are open there is only one doctor and they are sick.  

Ridiculous.
