boobonic plague
<< Jul 18, 2006 @ 09:04 >>
I wish I had the boobonic plague, as Paul suggested. Unfortunately, I had some sort of real near death experience starting Saturday afternoon with the sleeping 20 hours, cold sweats, 102.5° fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches... continuing on Sunday with the ER visit, negative tests for Strep and Mono, nonspecific viral diagnosis, loss of a gallon of blood to some sort of cruel lab tech, riding the vomitron, and more sleep. I think Gray wrote me off for dead and found a new boyfriend. Or at least it kind of feels that way.

You might have just had what I had. I don't see mention of hallucinations, but...

I seem to remember you being sick and leaking at both ends and missing work... and then on a separate occasion, not being sick but never-the-less seeing your spirit animal while on the toilet. Am I not remembering this clearly?

"Hey baby, I kind of miss being sick now, why don't you come over and give me the BOOBonic plague."
I'm so very, very tempted at this point. I mean, who cares if I get dumped... who wants to date a girl who doesn't A) find that funny and 2) make with the boobery.

Yes. I told her about the deal that you and I worked out, and she was cool with it.

Just because you didn't get any sick sex doesn't mean that you should break up with her. That's just mean.

Coughing makes it tighter, as does laughing
(or so I hear)

When is it not tight to start with?

So, what did the doctor give me for my viral tonsil swelling illness?
Prednisone
Let's review, shall we?
"Prednisone is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant and affects virtually all of the immune system."
"Do not take prednisone if you have a serious bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. Prednisone weakens the body's immune response and thus its ability to fight infection."
Genius!

Maybe he thinks you have lupus?

Lupus isn't a real disease. Oh, wait, I'm thinking of fibromyalgia. Or that thing where bugs crawl under your skin and you get sores that grow little furry lint balls.

I think I got pneumonia from the prednisone.
