Instead of financial advice, I’ve decided to give medical advice. When you don’t feel well, don’t be stubborn and go to the doctor. That’s it, now hopefully I’ll listen to my own advice in the future.
Long story short, I continued to work and coach my son’s basketball team with a fever and a terrible cough for a week. I finally went to the doctor after my wife made me (I had lost about 8 lbs too). I figured I’d get better eventually and I was too busy to be sick anyway.
My doctor let me know what he thought of my stubbornness after he told me I had pneumonia. Yes, if I had gone sooner it probably would have been just a bad case of bronchitis and I would have recovered quickly. But because of my own stupidity it’ll be weeks before I fully recover.
So take my advice and go to the doctor right away, I sure hope I do.
