Man I'm dragging over here. Now I really don't feel well.
Cold, shaking and lightheaded the other night, which probably was a bit more urgent than I wanted to believe? Not a problem. Totally fiiiine.
General all around feeling like road kill stuck on a Hummer wheel, which is not an urgent medical problem? I want to huddle in a fetal position today and commune with a very large quantity of Advil alternated with Tylenol.
I feel like I have a blood loss hangover. Is that possible? Also, the pain, is well, painful. I don't usually have pain like this so I'm a baby about it I guess. (Do I redeem myself if I say I labored 8 hours with Pitocin before asking for an epidural?).
Dear Body:
Just leave me alone will you? I exercise you. I feed you decent food. I take your sorry ass to the doctor to be sure I haven't missed something. Can you just sit down and shut up? I have a life. I don't have time for this. Grow up already.
Up Yours,
Self
Now, where are my big girl panties? It's going to take my biggest pair to slog through today.

Should I Get a Second Opinion?

I'm sorry for your pain, but you made me laugh out loud with that last sentence.
ReplyDeleteBetrayal isn't something I write about much and yet, your letter to your body here pretty much sums up the way I felt when my kid was young.
You do all the "right" things, you devote yourself to good health or, in my case, my child's good health--only to be let down in the end. That feeling is one of the hardest parts about chronic illness, IMO.
Anyway, I hope you feel better.
Thanks Amy :)
