Taking medical leave tomorrow to clear a bunch of medical to-do items off my list. It still sounds ridiculous to me to have to "time" my sick leave, but I gotta admit, it's inevitable. Unless the illness is truly debilitating, it's so much more trouble than it's worth to take leave on a day where you've got tastings or meeting to attend to. You just can't let yourself fall ill when it's inconvenient - even if you know something's round the corner, denial is the order of the day.
My eyes did not use to be so bothersome. I'm really at a loss as to why I keep getting eye infections of the blue these days. One of my bosses suggested hives, but it doesn't seem like it, and I haven't been eating anything out of the ordinary, so chances of this being a food allergy seems rather slim too. It's just so annoying when I have the squint the whole day because my eyelids are swollen. Grrr. Well, I've never enjoyed putting on eye make up anyway, and I'm even more wary of it with this issue.
I would much prefer to go for TCM for this and my worsening sinus problem, but I do need a referral to the National Skin Centre for (gasp!) other skin issues so I'm stuck with a visit to the polyclinic. )= And I should (that's the key word) make an appointment chez dentiste to get my on-again-off-again toothache checked but I think my medical budget for the year will not be able to take it. Bleah!
