Cracow, 14.05.2011 Hello Tom! How are you? It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. You won’t believe what happened to me… Last week I’ve got high temperature (about 38,5C), fever and a sore throat. I didn’t know what was happening to me so I went to a doctor. He examined me and said that I probably had a flu. He explained to me that it is usually caused by a virus and I need to rest for a few days.

Hello Tom! How are you? It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. You won’t believe what happened to me… Last week I’ve got high temperature (about 38,5C), fever and a sore throat. I didn’t know what was happening to me so I went to a doctor. He examined me and said that I probably had a flu. He explained to me that it is usually caused by a virus and I need to rest for a few days. I asked him to prescribe me some medicines. They were very expensive but I bought all of them. After a few days of taking the pills I realized that they weren’t working and I was still very ill. I even got worse day after day so I went to the doctor again.
