sick enough to seek medical attention

ok, so yesterday i was sick enough to go by the doctor's office before i went on home.....this is almost unprecented, as i aschew medical attention as much as possible.....but my malady has drug on long enough, and so i am willingly taking antibiotics that make my mouth taste like i am chewing aluminum foil, and avoiding both dairy products and all alcohol for 7 days.....this is some serious stuff......which so far hasn't hit thr spot......the day is young......and will go by slowly with neither wine nor cheese to look forward to after work......
