tempting fate
Let's recap:
Tuesday at work I was feeling chilly and achy and distracted, so I came home after lunch and slept like the dead for three hours. I then went to curling, because I had Obligations, but I came home right after, noted the swollenness of my lymph nodes, and went to bed and slept like a stone.
Wednesday I called in unwell and intended to work from home, but instead I slept for another three hours, woke up and checked my e-mail, went back to sleep for another three hours, woke up and checked my e-mail, went back to sleep for three hours. I then went to my dress rehearsal, because I had Obligations, but I came home right after and went to bed and slept like a stone.
Thursday I called in unwell and did work from home, but I begged off skiffy night and took it easy.
Today I went to work, not feeling great but not feeling dead, and figuring I'd better show my face or check in to a hospital. I'm coughing, but not badly, just a little rattle and wheeze. My throat doesn't even hurt. My shoulders and neck kind of do, and my head hurts, and I make the mistake of mentioning to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sanj around lunchtime that my neck feels a little stiff, and of course the last time I had a headache and a stiff neck, I was summoned to the ER pronto. Of course, at that time I was a college student and living in a dorm (well, home for winter break, but); I am now a vaccinated person living alone. Still, I promise to double check with the advice nurse that it's nothing to worry about --
-- and an hour and a half later, when I get back to my desk after a meeting, I am summoned to a doctor's appointment later tonight. Which I roll my eyes, but listen, by the time I leave work, I feel pretty bad, and by now I feel kind of rotten, so I'm sort of glad? And not for nothing, but my neck still feels bruisy (it's not effing meningitis, see above re: lymph nodes/vaccine, but the nodes are really tender, is what), and now my throat is quite sore and beginning to feel swollen. Great!
You're welcome, skiffy gang. ;-)
