ugh.
i'm still pretty on top of the world mentally, after arrangements were made with the clinic yesterday for me to fly down to toronto.
physically tho? not cool. nutshell version: my boss sent me to emerg and called someone in to cover the rest of my evening shift last night, after i "looked absolutely terrible" and nearly passed out in the o.r. i was a hot mess. my throat was killing me, i had a headache, i was freezing with the occasional hot flash, and my legs were so weak i really had to focus to stand.
4 hours later, they swabbed my throat [what up gag reflex?] and sent me home to bed.
my amazing boyfriend came in to keep me company at the hospital, then played nurse when we got home, getting me anything my heart desired [which was mostly freezies] when i wasn't asleep. he's wonderful.
i feel FAR better this morning. i'm still eating nothing but freezies to appease my poor throat, but my headache is 95% gone, and the hot/cold/weak issues seem to have disappeared. ange has already covered my shift tonight, so that's a weight off my shoulders. my car had to go in to the shop this morning, but josh dropped it off [he has forbidden me from leaving the house and insists that i rest all day].
i just hope this clears up, stat. more sleep ought to help. |
