Later that same day update: Turns out the test results indicate a gallbladder problem. . . . I'm supposed to go Wednesday for an ultrasound. I'm not exactly happy. Oh well.
Well I'm still sick. I'm somewhat better - my face is not swollen up and I can touch my neck - antibiotics are quite useful! I'm very weak though and my stomach hurts and I feel nauseous a lot. The doctor thinks something is wrong with my pancreas - he did a bunch of blood tests and all the results were in normal range except a couple. Those were pretty high but I don't know what that means. No one from kaiser has called yet sounding panicky so I guess I won't panic either. I haven't been eating much so that may cause the weird results - I don't know. He did say the pancreas is self-healing so I guess it's ok. I'm trying not to let my hypochondria kick in.
I was planning to go to work today but I felt so bad when I woke up this morning that I decided to stay home. Then I checked my work email and my boss was sending me emails about all the stuff she has to get done for a UN reception next week and I felt guilty but still too sick to work. Finally I called her and said I'd come in for a couple of hours and then do some work at home. She said just get what I needed from work and do what I could at home and not to worry. I think she's feeling panicky about this UN thing and other stuff and my presence is very calming. I know you're all laughing at that but seriously it's what everyone I've ever worked for has said about me (well except those WAC people) - that I have a very calm manner and they feel like everything is going to be taken care of when I'm around. Believe me I don't understand it either!
Anyway that's my update. I'm miserable and sick. I pinched my finger in my umbrella yesterday when I went to Kaiser. It hurts. My cats think it's weird that I'm home sleeping all the time. My apartment is a mess and I have bunches of dirty laundry. I have to go buy cat litter at some point today. I just ate a piece of toast w/peanut butter and soup. I feel icky. Aside from that everything is great!
Jill is sick also but feeling better. Colleen is sick but feeling a little better although she sounds bad. Dad is sick also. I don't know about Dad but Colleen and I are convinced Jill is the one who got us sick. Jill thinks I got her sick. I'm confused.
