One of the things I discussed with my doctor on Tuesday was this sore I’ve got that just won’t heal. Sure enough, it’s infected and so the doctor gave me an antibiotic and some antibiotic ointment to put on it twice a day. Already the antibiotics are doing their job and the thing has finally scabbed over, but the antibiotics haven’t been making my tummy very happy.
Tuesday night I was very nauseous and having horrible reflux. I was up eight times in the night feeling as though I was going to throw up (which I did once), feeling as though my tummy were full of acid and trying to stay ahead of the runs. So much for sleep.
About six in the morning I decided I wasn’t going to work. I knew I wouldn’t be productive on so little sleep, and although the tummy troubles seemed better, I was still feeling queasy. I slept until 9:30 am and then called and told my boss I was working from home. With a little medicine for the tummy, I seem to be doing much better today.
But, it’s always a dilemma when this stuff comes up. Do I go into work and try to look like I’m in the game for appearances sake, or do I stay home, do what I need to do and maybe actually get something done.
I elected for the latter, which I’m not sure was a popular choice. But, I got so much done yesterday afternoon and evening! I was feeling better and in the zone, if you know what I mean.
