It's that time again...
I can't sleep right now, and someone just told me to read their Livejournal, so I thought I might update mine.
Lets see, I'll back up a few weeks... Three Sundays ago (I think), I got a piece of metal lodged in my eye, and suffered some major damage to the lens of my eye. After much poking and prodding, and two, three, four, twelve... Who knows how many hours at the ER, they decided they couldn't get it out. They gave me some vicodin and an analgesic eyedrop to numb me to the pain.
They got in touch with an opthimologist who was nice enough to see me on Sunday, gave me a script for some vicodin for the week, and four hours later, I had the peice of metal removed. I didn't mind getting up, despite being sleepy, for some reason. I was kinda swimmy all day. I had to be led to the car, then led back, and whatnot. Aaron was sweet enough to put up with me all week. I took almost a whole week off of work, as well, since I couldn't really see, especially in the light, and the vicodin really didn't help with my cognition of things very much.
So, one semi-relaxing week later, I get back to work, feeling sick, but still quite a bit better, since I had time to cool down. The week swept by, and I finished quite a bit of stuff.
That weekend... Well, what a weekend. I managed to get lots of rest, get cought up on cleaning the house up some, and whatnot. Went back to work again, this time being even more on my game than before. My timeline may be a bit messed up here, by the way, but if it is, no big deal. I got a lot of stuff done that weekend, but poor Jason was out sick, with something nasty.
Now onto this week. Again, a good start, and rolling along, on Thursday (Aaron's birthday no less), I got REALLY ill at work... Not so much sick to my stomach, but I felt like I was going to collapse, even just sitting down. My legs got weak, and my eyes would barely stay open. So I headed home, and despite that, I got there in one peice, though my eyes were wandering, and I couldn't keep them open often, so I had to pull over repeatedly, and try and compose myself. More of the same on Friday, but after much rest, I'm now sore, and at some point while I was sleeping, my fever broke, and I woke up totally soaked in sweat. Uuugh.
So, today, I'm supposed to help work on a fence (I'm not sure if that's going to happen, since I'm obviously awake right now, and need to do that early in the morning. And I still don't feel so hot), go out and deposit a couple of checks at the bank, earlyish, and write up a few letters. Nothing amazing at all.
All in all, pretty much my norm, aside from not being able to dodge health issues lately. Jeezus.
Anyway, back to the norm, I hope.
