Viruses VS Paranoia

As I sit in my bed for the 5th straight day, with headache, fever, tinnitis and cough.  I decided to see if there was anything on TV.  Like most caregivers I am a bad patient.  Morosely I scan the channels to see if there is anything, anything at all to entertain me is the vast wasteland called day time TV.  While I was wondering why I still could not swallow without pain  I chance to see a "Frasier" rerun is on.  "Well what the heck,"  I said, I always got a kick out of Frasier and I missed most episodes being a working mom.  This show was a hoot but also made me think.  Frasier was in bed with a bad flu, fever, and Ear Nose Throat involvement.  His high fever causes him to hallucinate and fear for his job.  He had his brother Niles taking over his spot and he was doing a great job at the radio-psychology thing.  Frasier, in great fear, wrote  prescriptions for heavy pharmaceuticals had Daphne pick them up.  Frasier charged in ready to save his job, fever, doped up and promptly made a fool of himself on the radio.  "They had to carry me out in a butterfly net, said Frasier.  I am going to work tomorrow to "save" my job.  Any words of wisdom and no I am not completely well yet but I can pass.  Will I need to be carried away in a butterfly net?
