Why does my body hate me?
Dec. 8th, 2004 08:52 pmAs most of you know, I was sick for like 3 weeks in November. Then got better and started working out again. Well last week, I came down with another cold or something. The weekend was not soo bad, low energy but I was able to do the things I wanted to do.
So my illness this time started out as a headache, and sinus pressure. I then moved into my chest and turned into a nasty cough. But the sinus pressure was better. On Sunday night, my throat started to hurt. I looked at it and there were some white spots on it. I thought maybe strep. So Monday I called and got a doc to take a look at me. Gave me a complete physical and said it is most likely a flu/cold virus. That it did not look like strep. They swabbed my throat just in case. Even got a 2nd opinion. Said it is probably just a lot of acid in my system causing ulcers. Oh he also did some other blood work, and a physical, and gave me a tetanus shot.
So I went to work in San Mateo on Tuesday. I was feeling okay. Throat was still sore. But had some energy. My arm was sore from the shot. They warned me that it would be, not to worry about it, it would stop.
When I woke up today, I was feeling really shitty. Low energy, headache. I went into work. It was a long morning. Went to lunch with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hotelbearsf. It was really nice. He is such a great conversationalist.
After lunch I got back to work and completed a couple of tasks. About 2pm I finally went and talked to my boss. I told him that I was concerned that he was thinking I did not want to be there and was slacking because of me being out sick. Especially since I was sooo new. I told him that I am really glad to be working there that i like the job, but for some reason my body is just not being good to me. He totally understood and appreciated me coming to him and talking to him about it. I told him that I do not take sick time unless I am really sick and that the reason I keep coming to work sick is so that he would know that I am really serious about the job. He understood and told me to head home and rest and everything was fine. Nice to have an understanding boss like that.
So I spent the afternoon and evening on the sofa. and I will be here all day tomorrow. Hopefully I will be up to going to Gary-Oke tomorrow night. And Dolly Parton concert on Friday. I’m just gonna keep resting and drinking lots of fluids. No one should have to have a cold this long.
