Breeding Sickness
9 April 2009, 20:11
Ugh. Have Respiratory Tract Infection. Antibiotics suck. Nausea, vomiting. Am so fucking sick of feeling sick. Have G.P with no sense of humour. When she asked me why I was on such heavy duty painkillers, I responded plainly “Burst aneurysm. Brain Surgery. You know, the usual…” and was met with not even a flurry of smile. Honestly, though, read my file. And for god’s sake, cultivate a sense of the ridiculous.
On the brighter side:
1. I’ve managed to get my Pain relief down to 5mg Oxycontin and 4 Panadeine Fortes a day (down from 20mg and 8 a day).
2. Maisies have taken bait and been seen now’t of this past week.
3. Will be back at work next Tuesday. Actually, I’m not sure whether that can be considered truly a bright side given I’ll be starting a super-new role on a topic I know virtually nothing about – Remuneration and Rewards. Will my aneurysed brain be up to the intellectual challenge?
My (new) boss is Legend, though, asking me what kind of working situation would be ideal for me at first, with a mantra of “We’ll make it work”. I’ll be working 4 hours a day on the 4 days I work, 3 of them at home so I can space my short bursts of computer use over the day. Oh Happy. Happy Day.
