Bus virus hit me

Last two weeks, I came to work on a bus because my car broke down. The bus was a little crowded and I noticed the person near me having some symptoms of flu – coughing and sneezing. Obviously I couldn’t do much to stay away from him so I just covered my nose with my hanky. The next day I felt so weak to get up from bed. I remembered that guy with the flu so I figured that I caught the virus too. I took some meds and took a day off to recover. The next day, I was off to work again, a little sneezy but no longer feeling weak. A few days later, that sneezing worsened to severe coughing. I had headaches and facial pain, so again I was unable to go to work. I consulted my doctor to find out what’s wrong with me and was later diagnosed with sinusitis.

The doctor gave me some strong antibiotics for the infection. When I went to the med store, I had no idea that the antibiotics were that expensive! I was shocked after the cashier passed the box of meds to the barcode scanner. Sigh… if only I stayed away from that flu guy then my sinusitis will not get aggravated and I won’t be having this much problem on my budget. It had already been a week since I took a leave. So let this be a lesson for you guys. Stay away from sick peeps on the bus.
