the full onset of the flu seems to have been arrested somewhat, but there are the niggling symptoms left over: periodic stuffy nose, and a cough that pops up from time to time.
the more irritating aspect is the cough, so i decided to use the flavorful cough suppressant on that -- while at work. next thing you know, drowsiness kicks in, and i end up taking a short nap.
...and as happened before, woke up feeling lousy; and elected to end the day as soon as 6 rolled around.
got to the apartment and slept as soon as i got in.
sometime around 10-ish, jose arrives. waking up, i go downstairs thinking that it might be a good idea to imbibe another dose of the syrup.
jose's at the dinner table about to have a snack, and he and i end up having a wide-ranging discussion on symptoms and sicknesses and things of that nature; turns out his condition may have taken a turn that requires more than self-medication: i'm of the admittedly-non-medical-professional opinion that hopefully it may be something less than it looked at the moment -- but agreed that he would benefit from an md's attention (and given that our 5k-strong workforce's doctor's waitlist was longer than comfortable for a checkup), he decided that he'd best see their family specialist the following day. somehow got him to try the flavorful syrup (least it could do was to enable him to sleep longer between bouts of coughing...).
having more or less talked him into tiredness, we repaired to our rooms for the night.
also, having taken that dose of syrup, i end up in a dreamless slumber, interrupted by something i'll discuss in a next post.
