guilt- illness- and Lyrica- called in sick

[Guest guest]

Yep, here I am. Overdid it yesterday to the max. I had to call in sick. Do I

feel guilty? Yes. Should I? NO. The crap has hit me all over from working a

10 hour shift yesterday, running all over the nursing home non stop and to boot

I had to get up yesterday morning at 630 for my doctor appt. Strange thing, I

felt good yesterday through all of it until about 6 in the evening when my body

rebelled. I had to stay until midnight because I had a dying patient whom I

loved dearly and her family was in alot of grief.

Of course the nurse I consider to be my best friend said " well, just sleep in

tomorrow " . THEY NEVER GET IT. The NORMAL person can do that and feel

refreshed. Fibro won't let that happen. You either wake up in pain and can't

go back to sleep or even if I did sleep 9 or 10 hours, my body would still be

screaming.

I did take my first dose of Lyrica about 5 minutes ago. I guess I will give

it a try. Hell, I would drink muddy water if I thought it would help. So, we

will see if I get drunk from it or what. At this point, I don't give a $hit.

To the only ones that understand,

love and hugs,
