Health problems

I am not well. I have been going to work, because I was in charge for the past three nights and they couldn't have coped without me, and because I really didn't think that I'd feel any better at home, but I've been in a lot of pain and I went to the doctor as soon as my last shift finished (I can't really go during my working days because it would mean missing out on precious sleep).

I had suspected a malaria flare-up, because I've been having acute shivering fits, but apparently not. The doctor believes that it is a clostridium infection. As part of the examination he gave my abdomen a good prodding and it hurts like hell. I can't walk properly because of the pain (I couldn't even before the examination, but it's worse now).

My usual fic output may well be adversely affected. It's not easy to write when doubled up with abdominal cramps and also I've been sleeping for eleven hours a day and feeling that I could sleep longer. So now I'm off work I might well sleep for even more of the day.

That sounds terrible-- I'm so sorry to hear it! Hope it's better very soon!

{{{{hugs and healing vibes along with prayers}}}}. Don't worry about output just get better! Glad it wasn't the Malaria. My father had annual bouts of that and I know how miserable he was. Still, it sounds nasty anyway so I'm not sure it's a comfort after all. Take care and don't push to "get better" just to please the boss!

Take care off yourself, and remember the work will still be there, so if you need to take time off, take it. You'll get no extra thanks for not doing so. *Hugs*

Hopefully you got some good drugs and it will all be better quickly! Take care - health is more important than fanfic or work.

This sounds extremely unpleasant. The last thing you should be concerned with just now is humouring your fans. Get rest and look after yourself, and take the advice of any passing nurse seriously. Take care and get well soon.
