Man I am SO sick!!
Oh man I am SO sick. All I have done all dsay Tuesday and now today is sleep. I made a good start on my book yesterday. I believe I left it at 5 pages. I was quite surprised how much I had to say and that I was ableto sit down and just work on it. It was a pretty cool experience.
Sadly, being this sick I couldn't focus on it longer than a couple hours. I hope that this flu goes away faster for me than with hubby or other friends around here. I am not sure if I will get to write much on it today because my head feels like cotton wool and I am all woosy. It's just my luck that I get the mother of all flus when I am trying to do a contest in a set period of time and I already am starting 9 days late because I only found out about it yesterday. So, I am at a huge disadvantage. I am trying not to think about it too much and just try my best and see what happens. Worse case, I don't make it for the contest but I get the book written within the next month or two *shrugs*. I think that's still pretty damn good!

I had to cancel my pdoc appointment because I am so sick. Sitting up for any period of time makes me dizzy and faint so walking all the way to the bus stop and changing busses and this and that and waiting at the hospital.... are you kidding me? Ugh... So hubby called and we have an appointment for next week. He must be concerned because it's always min 2 weeks when you reschedule. So, next wednesday we meet with him. I am really hoping I am better by then because I want my moods to show him I am doing better and handling stuff well and being sick is messing them all up :(
Speaking of which I am worried I will be too sick to attend counselling tomorrow too *sigh* She made a comment a bit ago that every other week I seem to miss appointments so we should meet bi-weekly. So I am trying to prove to her that I need and want weekly appointments.
It's strange when she said that because I was thinking about it and it's really just bad luck. I am not dicking her around or anything.

Hubby is going to make us some brunch, triffle and lemonade. I'm hoping that the lemonade helps with the flu and rehydrating me because water is not touching the thirst. Regardless of how much I drink, so it's really annoying me.
He made this awesome mac and cheese from scratch for me yesterdy, at my request. It was awesome and made me feel a bit better. Nothing like a bit of comfort food when you're sick as a dog :)

Oh, the hospital relations lady called us back at 8pm last night. Hubby asnd her talked about half a hour and she informed us that the nurses were talked to. The way they reprimand is done on a scale so she doesn't personally deal with them or reprimanding staff so she wasn't sure where they were at on the scale. But she went around that Friday and talked to all the hospital department managers and informed them that this is a area that staff needs to more training in. So she wants me to come up with like 10 things that I think would be helpful for staff to do when dealing with patients and trauma survivors. And she wants to make a training program and take it country wide. So I am going to work with her and help her do that. Would be nice if I can get a job out of this eventually and can travel country wide and train. That would be awesome! And so me!! So we'll see what hapens. I am really excited about the potential.
So I am going to call her and meet up with her one of the friday's I am at the hospital for art therapy and we'll sit down and have a chat and see what we can come up with and do. Hubby mentioned to her that I wanted to do training and speak and stuff so hopefully we can work something out and make some big country wide changes! :)

Anyhoo, that's really all that's going on because I am sick and not doing a whole heck of a lot apart from sleeping.
