I have had a rotten day today. an?? an?? an??
I woke up at 1.45am with really bad sickness etc etc, so much so that on one trip to the bathroom I thought "hello, what I am doing leaning against the wall - it dawned on me the that walls weren't orange but the floor was - I had passed out and hurt my back in the process. I called the 111 at that point and they got a "clinician" to talk to me who said they would get a doctor out to me to check me out ..guess what, no sign of a doctor, so I called them again.
Presumably for them to be able to tick a box the next one started asking me if I had been to West Africa! She told me they wouldn't be able to get a doctor to me til after my own surgery opended - talk a bout a cop-out...
I phoned my GP and to my astonishment I got through straightaway, the GP called me back on the phone, and then sent the chemist round with some painkillers for my back, something to rehydrate me, and something to stop the "other". The painkillers have done the job, and I managed to get about half a sachet of the rehydration stuff down -the other I have left well alone as I am a believer that if I have got soemthing that bad the body knows what its doing, mind, I will reconsider if I have another early am like I did this morning.
The very much downside is that I have had to call work and tell them I won't be in for another 48 hours which takes me up to Xmas Eve. So bl**dy frustrating after having tried so hard to get a job (which I only started mid-October) I have to take time off. It might not be so bad if I worked a full week, but I only work 2 and a half days a week .. couldn't get through so I left message on the managers voicemail, and sent an e-mail to her and my office boss.
The worst bit is that I called my brother to say I didn't think I would be able to make Xmas dinner! Really looking forward to that
