S.I.C.K.

Sorry for not updating but I have been (and still am currently..) sick.
Took the eurostar back to Paris in the morning even though I would have given half my kingdom (if I had one) to stay in bed with my boyfriend and just sleep! Got back with the intention of going to work but quickly discovered that that wasn't going to happen. Here is the deal. If I'm sick I need a doctor to prove that I'm sick. Abercrombie Paris won't just take my word for it which was the case in London..
Having to make up for the time I missed last time I was sick I figured I'd better not make the same mistake again. So I decided to find a doctor! An English speaking one preferably. After wondering around for an hour talking to various people and pharmacists, getting nothing but rejection and "I don't speak a single word of English" I was ready to just sit down and cry over having to deal with this.

Luckily for me I have both friend and boyfriend ready to help so I went home to bed and got in touch. After talking to them, calling Abercrombie, my booker at metropolitan and the freaking SOS line (which by the way was crashed) I had still not managed to find neither a doctor or someone who knew a doctor I could go to. My best shot was to just walk down on the street, find a pharmacy and start asking. So with a french note that my boyfriend wrote asking like "Can you please direct my to a local doctor".
And what do you know, the first pharmacy I walk into I get directed to a doctor who is located right around the corner. And he even spoke English. I'll be damned!

Did have to wait for two hours but apparently there is a lot of sick people in Paris around this time of year so that was the reason for that!
The doctor examined my throat and told me I had a pretty bad infection but that it should pass in a couple of days. If the fever returns I need to go back but I doubt it will. Ended up paying only 23 euros for the visit (which isn't much since I have no french benefits or health insurance) and only like three or four euros for the medicine! Got to love France when it comes to the price of these kinds of things!
