I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning.
I think they’re going to tell me it’s just a cold and there’s nothing they can do but at least when I have to call out of my volunteer hours for a SECOND week in a row, I’ll be able to say, “yes, I went to the doctor.”
I always feel guilty about being “in between sick”. Like I’m not bed-ridden or anything but I still can’t function normally. It’s such a waste of doctor’s time going to see them when it’s a bad cold or something that they can’t do anything about but I still have to get a bloody cert off them.
Yeah, at this point I just feel bad for having to call out of my hours and not have a doctor’s note to prove that yes, I was ill for two fucking weeks, and no, I’m not getting better and no, they can’t do anything for me.
At the very least, my doctor can reassure me that I’m just dying of the common cold and that I don’t have some horrible flu or something (even though I got a flu shot).
I’m just annoyed because I can’t go to my volunteer hours if I’m even remotely sick because the kids I’m around have very weak immune systems. So I won’t even be able to go to my volunteer hours until I’m completely healthy, not when I start to feel better.
