I'm sick today. Sore throat, a cold (stuffy nose and sinuses, ear ache and all) and... not to gross you out or anything, but a few... hmm... "episodes" of diarrhea. I called my uncle, who's also my doctor (he does what we call here "Medicina General", I think it might be similar to what's called a General Practitioner in English?) and he told me to stay home from work; he'll come by in the afternoon to take a look at me. He thinks it might be a virus. Hopefully, this isn't that new killer pneumonia going around in Asia these days!
