Sorry, I'm not dead yet
Jul. 18th, 2006 12:48 pmI have learned the wisdom of not journaling when I haven't slept or eaten in four days. I also have learned that making drastic, life-altering decisions in such a state ain't too bright an idea, neither.
I'm fine after a brief stay in the hospital over the weekend; when my doctor saw me on Friday he sent me directly to the emergency room because my heartbeat and blood pressure were extremely out of whack. I was kept under observation for two days and pumped full of IV feeds to stabilize my potassium levels and other fun fluids of dubious medical purpose. After demerol for the migraine and some other additives for sleep, I was finally able to pass out into a deep sleep for about twenty-two hours.
So I took a day off and I'm back to work (yes, against doctor's orders, but a man's got shit to do). I'm much more focused, but still tired; I have a sleep study this week and I get to visit a neurologist for some detailed testing on Wednesday to try and suss out my migraines & insomnia. I should have some idea what my body's doing to me by Friday.
Until then, I'm fine. I'll just be relaxing a bit more this week, is all.
