I stayed home today from work. Doctor's orders! For the last several days I have been feeling slightly dizzy and lightheaded, with a headache. My best estimate is that it started mid last week. I finally decided that feeling that way was not normal and scheduled an appointment with Kaiser Urgent Care. First, however, I went to Mobile Clinic because I had already stated I would go, and well, it's only right.
I was seen right away at the urgent care. For some reason I felt even more tired than usual. Doctor ordered some lab work and once the results were in he told me I was fine....hahaha. Just kidding, he said I was getting over some viral infection and really needed to rest. :/ He even gave me a note to stay home the rest of the week. I wasn't going to follow his orders because I had three clients scheduled today, but then I decided I should stay and relax. I would rather spend two days at home than have a headache the entire time at work. I will also be taking better care of myself. I've been so busy trying to keep active that I'm ignoring what my body is telling me...it's tired!
Geoffrey has a theory that all these symptoms are just my anxiety over medical school. Perhaps he is right. I don't feel nervous or anxious, I'm ready for whatever comes my way. BUT, I guess my body is absorbing all the anxiety and it sucks :( So instead of keeping busy to "forget" about the uncertainty of my life, I am going to relax more and take the uncertainty for what it is.
