I missed work yesterday when I had to goto the emergency room. My uvula (the little thing that hangs from the back of your throat) had swelled to 5-6x the normal size when I woke up. The damm thing was swinging around inside my mouth and hanging halfway down my tongue. Couldn't talk, and could barely breathe. Went to the ER, got shots of antibiotics and steroids, then got sent home with more antibiotics and a bottle of tylenol 3 w/ codeine. Fun stuff. Sucks be to sick though.
So I get 3 days doctor mandated off for that, then friday I'm taking 3 days paid off to be at the funeral of my grandmother who died Sunday after a long battle with Alzheimers.
I also took two vacation days at the end of last week to goto a relatives 80th b-day party. So basically I'll have not worked for 11 days by the time I get back.
