Health problems

[speaker_to_customers]

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.

I'm sorry to hear that; do hope you're feeling better very soon ::higs::

Is that Durdle Door in your icon, btw? Spent a couple of holidays there in the past.

::higs:: Hmm. More coffee needed, obviously! ::slurps::

::hugs:: That's better!

Thank you!

It may well have been Durdle Door in my icon, but it wasn't meant to be. I had an idea for a pun and did an image search for an appropriate picture, but I didn't check the site properly and ended up with a picture that looked good but wasn't of where I thought that it was. It was supposed to be a scene from Nice in the South of France. I have searched more carefully since then and redone the icon with a scene that is definitely of the right place.
