Bleah Again.

realsorienOn Wednesday, I got my hair cut. As it was halfway to the folks place anyway I also decided to drag my old, busted lawnmower out there because dad wants to try and fix it. I'd kinda rather get a new one, but hes insistent. Anyway, I got there and they insisted on me having dinner with them. I refused at first, then gave in and chowed down. Thereafter I headed home, stopping for comics.
Here's where it starts to get fun.
I started feeling slightly queasy and having bodyaches relatively soon after getting home. I ignored it because I've been achy in general from mowing the lawn and the walking I do at work anyway. When I got to work, I was definitely not feeling good- wrung out, joint pain and fatigue, and an upset stomach. When I wasn't staggering through a round I was witting, holding my head in my hands.
Eventually the night ended. I got home, and had what I thought was the onset of diarrhea- it wasn't, and I went to bed. I tossed and turned, having alternate chills and sweats, til the phone rang- It was the office from work. They told me that I shouldn't come in to work tonight (Thursday), and that I should come to the office tomorrow (Friday) at 8:30 to discuss matters of things from my account. I think that it was that they thought I was sleeping, because of my holding my head the way I was.
I wouldn't have been in anyway, because thats when the diarheea DID hit. The joint pain was a lot worse, and I spent the next few hours curled in my chair. Eventually, because I didn't want to go through what I have in the past when I've gotten sick like this, I made an appointment to see the doctor at 7 PM.

ataramos kindly drove me in, and after some minor directional snafu's (mine and the nurse who gave me directions' fault), we got there.
As it turns out, it was bacterial food poisoning. I think the fever broke last night, but since I got back from the appointment, all I've had to eat or drink is gatorade. When I pick up my prescription for Cipro I'll get some jello-cups. I do feel better, but I have to sort things with work still too. I didn't go to the meeting (I informed him yesterday that I was ill and might not be in), but I have to rearrange things to get this worked out.
It seems like every time I've gotten things working again, some other stupid shit happens. :P
