Oh God, I seriously want to get my memory wiped Eternal Sunshine style so I can forget having the swine flu - I got it at the same time I had dry socket in all five of my wisdom teeth extraction points and thought I was going to
DIE. I'm not a pansy about pain and suffering at all and I was literally begging the ER staff in tears to give me something to knock me out! WORST FLU EVER.
I get sick several times a year, but I work as a nanny (kids bringing home germs from school!) and as a doula (germy hospitals!) so I don't feel like I get sick an excessive amount, given the circumstances.
