Only a quick update, because I feel shit. I was fine when I got to work at 3pm today. The first hour I felt a bit lethargic – I’m often like that at work so I didn’t really think much of it.
By 5:30pm I was coughing and having a bit of trouble getting the pitch of my voice to stay right. I commented to the nurse next to me that I must sound like a teenage boy whose voice is breaking, lol.
At 6pm I decided I couldn’t carry on. I asked to go home and tried to ring P, but he didn’t answer. So I asked my mate D to pick me up. I waited outside and had a fag. I was starting to feel a little disorientated.
On the way to D’s (she invited me back for a quick cuppa) I began to feel really sick. D was trying to talk to me, but I had to concentrate on keeping the nausea down. By the time we reached her place I was shaking and my hands were clammy. We got out of the car and I hurried inside to sit down. The fresh air helped a bit and I felt better after a few minutes.
I didn’t have a cuppa as I didn’t feel my stomach could take it. Then she and J took me home. P had got my message and was waiting for me. I had a bowl of soup and that helped a lot.
For the rest of the evening, I’ve felt like I’ve got the flu. I’m dreading the head zaps that will undoubtably come – I already have a slight whooshing sensation when I turn my head too fast.
Anyway, that’s my day. P is on night shift tonight so I’ll go to bed when he’s gone.
