So, yesterday I finally dragged my ass to the doctor and what I discovered was not very encouraging. I seem to have problems with my liver and an infection of my prostate, both of which seem to have contributed their own share to my current state. Not to mention that my lungs for some reason sound like someone’s who’s a heavy smoker. In any case, they put me on some heavy antibiotics which almost terrify me more when I read of all the possible side effects (especially the “lethal” part in parentheses around some of them is not very encouraging)… I’ve started taking them and so far I feel like shit and have started throwing up. Wonderful. I’ve tried practicing this morning, but all the trowing up was distracting me a bit too much ;), so now I’m back in bed. If things don’t improve, I might just stay in bed and call in sick. At least this regimen is supposed to only go for a week. Good chance to develop compassion though, right? Might as well find something useful in it…
