Body vs Mind 4 - 0

[martinemonster]

I have yet to win against my body. In the battle of wills, my body is still the stronger of us (though probably just because I have this large amount of people, yeah, you know who you are, who keep telling me to listen to what my body is telling me), and thus, I am on sick leave. Again. she wrote this announcement from her office, where she's not supposed to be, but she promises to leave it soon

I'm sure you're all dying to know what's wrong with me, so here goes: I coughed so hard I might have fractured (though not broken) a rib, and ripped a few muscle tendons(?)muskelfester, jeg vet ikke hva det heter på engelsk. Hjelp meg noen?. The doctor gave me big, strong painkillers and a new prescription for the sweet juice of life, cosylan, and told me I might have Pertussis kikhoste, a decease I thought was extinct. Lucky me. So now they tested me for it, patted me on the back and told me to hope that wasn't it, 'cause then there's nothing to do but wait it out. Oh, and he took lots of tests and sent me to take more tests tomorrow. So no rest for the wicked, I guess. Now, I just have to figure out how I'm going to pay for my medication with my grand total of 0,04kr in my bank account (for the Americans among you I would like to translate, but you have no currency small enough).

But I was supposed to be well when I went back! The doctor told me the coughing would go away on its own and I should go back to work. Not my fault it didn't work, blame my body! It hates me! But I'm staying home...
