Sick
I had been doing so well with this whole not getting sick thing… I even managed to avoid the whole changing of the seasons respiratory infection I seem to get every spring/summer. But it caught up with me!
I posted those pretty pictures of me in my halloween costume, talking about the good time I had with my family, etc… little did I know, there was a carrier monkey in our midst. He was complaining that his tummy hurt on Halloween and didn’t eat any dinner. By Tuesday, I knew why. I woke up feeling fine, but by lunch time, I was starting to feel dizzy and nauseous. I actually thought I might be getting a migraine, so I called one of my coworkers to come in and let me go home early. I thought I’d sleep for a few hours and wake up feeling fine. Yeeeeaaahhh… within 2 hours of going home, I was not even keeping down liquids! I missed two and half days of work, and have been dealing with a nagging cough/sinus infection since. Joy!
These days, I’m pretty glad that my job pretty much consists of keeping an eye on security cameras all day. Obviously, there is a bit more to it than that, but I do have a coworker here with me who is willing to do all the other work while I sit here and attempt to expel my lungs from my body.
Miraculously, I managed to skate at practice last night without too much issue… no problems at all during drills or jams, it was just the times in between that were a bit rough. I’d love to say that I’m feeling a bit better today, but I think that’s probably more that I struck upon a better combination of decongestants than anything else.
