I was the “answer guy” last night in class because the subject was about how to best accomplish all the requirements to graduate. Since I only have the exit interview remaining, I pretty much know what is expected. Alas, towards the end of class, I started to get a sore throat. By the time I got home, it was really bad and got worse overnight. I did not sleep well. Today, I spent the entire day in bed. I did not go to Wednesday breakfast with the guys and I did not go to class. This is my third cold in seven weeks! I can’t seem to get healthy. My immune system is down due to previous colds and all the allergens in the air.
I think I have also come to the conclusion that I am allergic to codeine. Every time I take the doctor-prescribed cough syrup, I get a temperature and I begin to sweat almost immediately. The syrup doesn’t work at all for my cough either – it makes it worse! I’m switching back to Robitussin DM tomorrow.
