Wake me up when this all ends

Day 8 of my battle with the flu.
Log: I am about ready to give up, wave the white flag, and be done with it. For 8 days now I have had fevers, chills, aches, pains, headaches, nausea, coughing....... I didn't think it was possible. I was in fact so surprised on Day 6 of fevers etc that I went to the doctor. I am growing more and more sure that doctors have become useless. Her advice: get some rest and drink fluids. I wanted to shake her and say 'Are you kidding me with this?' Because I work with kids with special needs, I was particularly concerned with whether or not I was contagious on Day 6 of fevers etc. Dr. Know-it-all said "Well, you really shouldn't be very contagious now." What in the world is that supposed to mean?
All I can say is that I wouldn't wish this year's flu on anyone.....well maybe Dr. Know-it-all.
