Through the looking glass..
I knew things were going a little too well for me when I landed this job and everything just seemed to fall into place lately. I'm always slightly pessimistic, after years of having life slap you in the face, it's a bit difficult to not feel that there's always got to be something wrong. And as usual, I've been proven right.
I got sick a few days ago and I've been coughing and sneezing with little fevers here and there, nothing horrible, figured it was just a cold and would be gone soon. Yesterday morning, I woke up shivering, and thinking I had a fever, cause I usually shiver when I have fevers, I opened the window, put the fan on high and kicked off my blankets. Half an hour I woke up, teeth chattering and realized I was freezing. I took my temperature and was 94.9 so I freaked out a little after looking in the mirror and seeing my lips had started to turn blue as well as my fingers. I went downstairs and took an extremely hot shower and after getting my temp up to 97.3, I curled up in warm clothes and waited for Janet to get home. She got here around 11 am and I told her I had to get to the doctor, but because Matt and Anthea were headed over to Matts Mothers house and Janet hurt her knee, I had to drive myself to the doctor. Anyway, without going into annoyingly long detail, The doctor says I have pneumonia, sent me for bloodwork and a chest xray and told me to come back on Monday. That's where it all got bad. I told her that I couldn't make it Monday, I was starting a new job then and that they require perfect attendance during training, she told me I had no choice and there wasn't a chance I was going to work on Monday. That caused me to break down in the doctors office. After three days of nearly no sleep and being constantly dizzy and tired, I couldn't stop crying. Called my best friend as I was leaving who helped calm me down so much, I know I would have totally freaked out if not for him. I'm hoping they understand and can just let me start with their next training class, which I hope is sooner than later. I'm so tired of not having money. I know this probably isn't written very well, but I'm still running on four hours sleep in four days now. I'm exhausted.
Will report more as this story unfolds.
