One of those days

[cherpep]

I feel like a dishrag that has been used up and wrung out.  It's just one of those days.  After a night of virtually no sleep and a visit from the cramp fairy, I'm exhausted and my legs feel like they can't even support me.  I'm here at work right now, but can't really focus on my work.  I'm breaking the rules by getting on this website at work, but I just needed to vent a little bit.  I can't let others here know how bad I feel, and I can't go home - we are already in layoffs and cut hours due to the Chrysler bankruptcy.   

I was in a meeting this morning where I was a key player and people were looking to me to get creative, but the only thing I could get creative about was where I was going to throw up if it became imminently necessary.  Luckily, it didn't, but I feel so weak and braindead.  This post is probably the best work I've done all day, LOL.  Nahh, I have done some work, but it's all been a huge struggle.  I'm gonna have to review it all tomorrow.

Cherpep, I'm just sending you some hugs and a big wish that tomorrow will be a better day.  If I see the cramp fairy I promise I'll swat her and put her out of commission for you. 

[cherpep]

Thanks, monrein!!  Smack her good, please! 

I just reread my post, and boy do I sound whiny!!  I hate whining!  Shame on me.  OK, sucking it up now.

Cherpep, you are such an inspiration!  I wish there was someone at work you could talk to at times like this, but I understand your situation.  We are always here for you!   

I'm with monrein:  I am going to give that cramp fairy a couple of cramps of his own if I see him.

[cherpep]

Cool!  David and monrein going after the cramp fairy.  Yeah!  Maybe I'll get some sleep tonight after all.

isn't the cramp fairy a girl ?

[monrein]

Might depend on the kind of cramps.  Example...menstrual cramps...girl (nasty one at that) but those wicked leg and body cramps on dialysis, might just be some evil sadistic bastard guy.  Just my 

[cherpep]

In that case - it's definitely a guy!!

[monrein]

   well we'll have to smack him extra hard then.    Now he's just a dizzy sadist.

Cherpep, What a day. I am sorry and wish you could have just gone home.  I know you are worried about the job outlook with the auto companies. It is hard not to stress.   And you did not sound whiney!  You sounded sick!  I hope you have a better night.

Big  to you.  I caught the cramp fairy in the alley and kick her a**.  I slapped har a couple of time for you!

Hehehehe - I read a kid's book not long ago where the heroine got rid of a spiteful fairy by yelling, "I don't believe in fairies!" at the top of her lungs until the fairy keeled over and died.  Try that next time, cherpep.

I know all about having to work and feeling crappy.  Monday night at dialysis my sore shoulder decided to have a cow all night long.  I moaned and groaned all night. Up all night then had to get up 5:45a.m. and go to work feeling like crap with no sleep.  And I had to make sense of CST testing in my classroom and keep kids quiet and busy for hours on end that day. Then I went home at 12:30 and remembered I had scheduled an IEP at 2pm at school that day.  I had to turn around and go back to work.  All I wanted was a nap.

Cherpep, hope you are sleeping soundly by now and hopefully the cramp fairy is all cramped out someplace far away.

[MandaMe1986]

Yes Pelagia is right. Get lots of sleep tonight.

[okarol]

  I hope tomorrow is better!

Was today a better day?  Let us know how you are.   

[cherpep]

Thanks, guys!!  Thanks so much.  I don't know what I would do without my IHD friends.  I have come to rely upon these posts more than I ever thought possible. 

Yes, today was a much better day.  I actually got some sleep - actually in my bed (not my sleeping chair), and my bed is the most comfortable bed in the world.  It was a cool evening, so having the window slightly open gave me some fresh air while I slept, which was pure heaven.  So, I was able to function at work.  Now, if only the Wings could win tonight - it would be a great day all around.

Thanks again, guys!!!

I am so sick of being sick.  What a rollercoaster!  I was feeling better, than after just a couple of days - sick again.  My entire Mother's Day was spent lying down - stomach pains, nausea, cramping in my legs and neck, total exhaustion, dizziness, double-vision, and dry heaving.  My blood pressure has also been low, never going over 90/60 and getting as low a 50/35.  Monday I was feeling a little better, managed to eat a little bit of mild food, made it into work. Tuesday - sick again!!!  Made it to work, but barely functioned.  Today, I feel a little better, but still feel like crawling under my desk.  What is up with this crap?!

I felt like this a couple of months ago then my graft stopped working, and they thought I may have been experiencing low clearance in my treatments.  I had to have surgery.  I sure hope it's not the problem right now - I cannot possibly have surgery right now - my job would suffer, and I honestly can't afford it.  Please, please, please don't let it be a clearance issue.  Just drew blood last night, so I guess we'll find out at my next appointment.  Let's hope it's just a bug that my body is having a hard time fighting and I can wait til my next appointment to find out. 

Now where did I put that magic wand that will make everything better?  Did someone borrow it?

[monrein]

Are you too dry Cherpep?  Could you have gained a bit of real weight but kept your dry weight the same?  Just a thought.
