Sick of being sick

I was told that my immune system was compromised post surgery. I was told that if there was any sickness to catch, I would catch it, at least for the next 12 months. I guess I was feeling a little invincible because I didn't catch anything in November and December. But here I sit in mid-February and I've been sick for about a month now.

It all started with Macworld, it's a yearly event I attend for work and this year I lost my voice, total and complete laryngitis. This has happened to me before, so I didn't think anything of it. But unfortunately, this was just the beginning of my weakened immune system. After the laryngitis, I caught a cough that rivals an emphysema patient. It's such a deep ugly hacking cough that I finally went to the doctor over it last week. She told me that she'd send any other patient home, but because my immune system is so compromised, that she wanted me to take some potent drugs.

Then yesterday, just when I was finally getting rid of my cough, I've come down with some real icky and funky illness. I'm incredibly achy, my joints are in severe pain and I'm very feverish. I woke up around 2:00 am this morning drenched in sweat. I can't seem to bring my fever down, I hope this passes soon because I am sick of being sick.
