Back to school..

So today I finally asked the IES people to make me a doctors appointment. I've been sick for almost a week, so I decided it was about time!! I was done with both my classes by 1:30, so afterwards I went home for la comida. My appointment was at 4:30, so I had a little time to relax. It is miserable going on the metro when you have a sinus infection. Everyone glares at you for coughing and sniffling, but hey, there's not much I could have done!

Finding the doctor's office was a bit of an adventure! It didn't occur to me at first that it wouldn't be in it's own building on the street! The street itself was really fancy and full of designer stores, but also under a lot of construction. Finally, I found the building where the doctor was, and managed to buzz my way in. I actually saw the doctor in his office! Not an examining room! I sat at his desk at first and answered some questions, and then he had me sit on the examining table, which was right there in his office! He basically told me what I already knew (that I have a sinus infection), and gave me some prescriptions for antibiotics, something fizzy you put in water and drink, nose spray, and ibuprofen (prescription strength!). Thank goodness there is a pharmacy right by my apartment!! It was really easy to get the prescriptions, and also pretty inexpensive. Now, I'm going to rest. Hopefully I'll be a lot better by tomorrow!! :)
