still feeling bad :(

[Rome]

My throat is still hurting. I worked last night, it was hard, but I did it. Got a shot of penicillin, but still not feeling good. I have been taking 1 gram of Tylenol along with 800 mg of ibuprofen just to deal with the pain. Unfortunately it only lasts a few hours. Today is the last day for ibuprofen before my endoscopy on Monday. I am now only taking Tylenol. It doesn't last as long. I am feeling very weak. I wonder if I have a virus along with the strep. I did find out Sunday night that one of my patients I took care of about a week ago was diagnosed with H1N1, but I found out too late to be able to get the Tamiflu offered to employees exposed to the virus. Please pray for a quick recovery....... I was suppose to work tonight, but called in.....something I just never do. I work in a very busy ER and hate to leave my coworkers short handed. But, I need to take care of me. I also don't want to expose any others to whatever it is I have. If I am not feeling better by Friday, I will have to reschedule my Endoscopy/colonoscopy. I am hoping I will start feeling better by tomorrow.

Til next time,

Rome

Rome
not good.....

dont feel guilty about being sick and yes you do need to take care of you... and you need to do that guilt free.

you are getting your body ready for procedures, you are on the low fibre prep diet, and your body is fighting the germs

rest up (and do it guilt free) find something a book or some puzzles to distract your mind so you dont think about work
