A short rant from the sickie in bed 4
I doubt I'll go back to work any time before next week.
Plus point: platelet count has been going up. Go me.
Downside: There's some sort of side-effect of whatever I've got, and the pain in my joints is enormous, and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of not being able to sleep through the night because the pain won't let me, I'm tired of not being able to get out of bed because my joints have seized up and it hurts too much, I'm tired of not being able to eat or drink because it makes me feel like throwing up, I'm tired of having run a fever for the past eight days, I'm tired of not being able to go up and down the stairs easily, I'm tired of being stuck at home and I am well and truly tired of Smokey trying to talk to me about work when I'm burning up like a Roman candle. SHUT UP, SMOKEY, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!
*ahem*
Long long post coming up. I just need time to edit.

Bird flu, Slink? (That wouldn't be "normal," would it?)

Hey Slinky
Being sick gives you licence to play computer games all day and not feel guilty about it.
Get well soon, and you know what they say - What ever doesn't kill you, only makes you wish you were dead...or something like that- » November 02, 2005 5:53 AM

Miss J: It's not dengue! Slinky would never be taken down by something so pedestrian as dengue! That wouldn't have the requisite drama, now, would it?
Larry: Methinks you have us confused with some other third world nation. No bird flu here, nope. And please, I'm the Slinky CAT - let's leave insinuations regarding birds aside.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers -lookalike: to what do I owe the honour?
And I think the statement's pretty accurate. There are definitely days where I wonder whether I wouldn't rather be dead than throwing up/stuck with another needle/be unable to get up because my joints have failed me. But I think that's just the drugs talking.- » November 03, 2005 4:13 PM
