Been better
Oct. 2nd, 2009 11:24 amLast night was not a good night.
I took myself up to bed by 8pm. While I watched a little TV and tried to work on the send half of my "Son of Sock Swap" project it just wasn't happening.
Lungs - bad. Very tight despite several rounds of rescue inhalor and the evening does of daily inhalor and double shot of benedryl.
At 1am I had rather strong sharp pains right where the bra would cross the sternum if I had been wearing one at that time of night.
Coughing but not productive but felt like there was something stuck in my throat.
I seriously came close to bundling myself up and driving to the entrance of my housing development and taking myself to the urgent care facility right there. But I didn't, though the thought was so strong I did lay there plotting out what clothes to put on if I did end up going.
Eventually by 3:45 breathing resumed to something close to normal and the pains stopped. Coughing eased and I managed to fall asleep.
5am the alarm went off. I dont' remember it doing so and I apparently turned it off because I naturally woke up at 8am (when I"m supposed to be at work). Did as much of a panicked dash as I could with limited lung capability and exhaustion. Texted boss to say I was running late.
Got up, got dressed, packed a lunch, fed the animals and was actually out the door by 8:20 and to work by 8:50. I would have loved to have stayed home but I only have one sick day left this year and I want to hold onto that for a day when I'm much worse and really can't come into work.
This weekend is going to be all about resting, trying to take care of myself and not do anything strenuous. My cleaning can wait until I'm better.
