Luckily, I started feeling immediately better on Monday and managed to make it in to see a doctor early that morning. Was diagnosed and sent away with a prescription in about 30 minutes. My only concern that I expressed to the doctor was if I could still travel on Thursday back home to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. I was given the clearance, so I immediately picked up my medicine, then proceeded to sit at home and rest. Finally got through a huge backlog of magazines and anime DVDs that had been sitting in my room being neglected. Couldn't go to work at all for the week (I was already off Thursday and Friday since the office was closed observing the holiday), which kind of sucked since that hurts me in the pocketbook. But then again, I was off for a week.
On Thanksgiving, I got up early in the morning (03:30 PST) to head for the airport for my 06:00 flight. By that day, I was feeling back to normal so I wasn't too worried about being contagious. My flight out of San Jose Mineta International Airport was delayed about an hour, but I space out my connections enough so it didn't affect my travel plans. I made it in to Tampa at around 16:30 EST and was met by my father. Went home with him and had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner with my parents. I spent Friday with family, and then met X, X's lady and Rotfiend for dinner and some time out in Ybor. Saturday, the group I always hung out with had a get together to celebrate a bunch of birthdays coming up. And then Sunday I spent a majority of my day flying back to the west coast.
I cannot say how great it was to make it home last week. I was really worried I would not be able to fly out when I got sick. Luckily, I was able to get medicine and rest so that everything turned out OK.
