Quiet day July 31, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : I dream of sleep, In A Family Way , 3 commentsSorry no real posts today. I did some web design at work and then went home early and took a 2 hour nap. I am lucky. The building we work in was built in the 1930s. You know, when women were "weak" once a month. So all of the women’s rooms have beds in them (I kid you NOT). I am planning on taking in a pillow tomorrow. I’ll take 1 hour naps at work during the day to help with the sleep. I spoke to my bosses and they both suggest using my sick time to get better. I agree.
In addition to the mono, I have anemia caused by the mono. My liver enzymes are off as well, a slight case of hepatitis. Apparently, 90% of mono sufferers develop hepatitis while the mono runs its course.
I am angry and frustrated.
Then we receive news that Lauren is having some bone marrow trouble. She is getting a few pints of Cleveland’s finest in a transfusion this week. I feel stupid for being upset that I am sick when Lauren is fighting cancer. She’s got one more chemo round left. She might have to miss the fall semester of her sophomore year. This bites.
Lastly, Jay started the methatrexate yesterday. Turns out it is an intramuscular injection. Ick…
