Being sick anywhere is a bummer, but the nice things about being sick here are:
There is a "Pharmacie" on almost every block. Seriously....in the little village I live in there are probably 30 streets and at least 10 Pharmacie's that I know of!!
When you are sick (unless it's like you need stitches or an Xray) you walk to the pharmacy and tell them what is wrong with you. Now it took me a while to find one with a Pharmacist that can speak English, but I found TWO within a couple blocks of my home!
They chat with you a bit, get just the right thing for you off of the shelf, you pay the $3 - $5 for the meds, and off you go....home to bed!
It is as easy and cheap as that.....no driving across town to the Dr., no Dr. appointment, no waiting in the office with all the other sickies, no waiting in the room for the Doc, no expensive office visit, no waiting for someone to fill the prescription......
It's great! Now....I'm praying it will WORK!! :) Actually, I haven't coughed for the last 1/2 hour...that is a good start! My nose isn't clogged....that is wonderful! I think I might just be in good shape for tomorrow.....because I can't miss tomorrow...It's Valentines Day!!!! :) Today I've been busy making Valentines all day for my students and co-workers! I know....crazy....but what else was I to do home, sick and in bed!! :)
