flamingswordCut for gross medical TMI for people who have those squicks -
Last night I:
• had a delayed reaction to my new migraine prevention medication, so from about 8pm - 11pm I had to consciously force myself to breathe normally, and deep breaths were like breathing wearing a tight-laced corset, pushing against resistance.
• got food poisoning and was running to the bathroom from about 10pm - 1am
• about 11:45 I started throwing up and managed to throw up so hard I blacked out, fell off the toilet, and faceplanted into the bathroom floor.
• got sleep from ~2am ‘til about 7:45am. That is not nearly enough sleep, but work could not find anyone to replace me on Mothers’ Day on very little notice, so I drew on some concealer pencil very gently over the bruising and went to work. Because if my day is going to hurt only slightly more than average then I might as well be making money, I guess.
Also one of my coworkers now thinks that my pain tolerance is badass, and I guess she’s kind of right? It’s good to know that even if I did lose a fight with [checks notes] a bathroom, I still can be tough enough to look like I joined Fight Club and still show up for work in the morning. Small victories.
