I left work early yesterday.

I left work early yesterday. I didn't make it in at all today. Finally got my lab results in and I've got a UTI. The problem with that is that I finished my antibiotics this morning, yet (TMI Alert) today I had what appeared to be brown tissue in my urine. I've never had that happen before, but it doesn't seem good. I am sure that my infection is not gone.

My back still hurts. My bones do, as well, but not as bad. I am feverish and nauseated and have had a low appetite for days. I also had an incredibly hard time sleeping last night because now I've got a sinus infection on top of all that.

I desperately need to shower because of fever sweats, but I dare not venture away from my phone because I'm waiting for a call back from my doctor. When I say that I am not having fun out here... Oof.

There was a work event last night that I missed and a dinner that I'll miss this evening, as well. Aside from that we're doing a class right now on app development. I attended via Zoom so I would get as much benefit from it as I could. We have a certification exam on that next week that I'd like to pass. It would be a lot more effective to study if I could get myself together, though.

Anyway. The news with me is that my body is trying to revolt against me and I'm trying my best to survive it while also not getting myself fired, but I am legitimately a whole mess right now. 😕

Physically still not 100%.

I am mostly ok-ish right now.

I am mostly ok-ish right now. I'm about to get to work on my computer to make sure I don't fall behind. But when I say the last few days have been rough... My goodness. It definitely got worse before it got better.

I felt so bad on Friday when my Ibuprofen wore off before the Prednisone kicked in that I was nearly in tears. By Friday evening I felt horrible in a lot of ways - to the point that I took 2 COVID tests on Saturday. Both were negative. I slept most of Saturday and a lot today. My bones are still sore, but not horribly. I'm functional, and I'm grateful for that.

I don't know what is going on with me, but I hope it's coming to an end. I just need to be ok for 8 more weeks. All I want is to keep up with my training and do well at this job.

I hope you all are ok. If not, hang in there! ❤️

I fell asleep after my last post...

I fell asleep after my last post - which I made at 6:49 pm - so RIDICULOUSLY early.  I woke up super sweaty once...  Inflammation is often accompanied by fever, so that's no shock. I also woke up to pee a couple of times, but other than that I slept until I got up this morning at 6.

My bones still hurt, but thanks to the sleep I'm in a better mood this morning than yesterday. I've had my appointment and am waiting for my prescription to be filled. My only real option is Prednisone. I don't usually react well to it, but I have to do something. I don't want damaged joints and this constant pain not only hurts physically, but is affecting my mental health.

I hope you all are doing well. I've hit a rough patch, but I'm still grateful for the opportunity to be here learning and launching my career. ❤️

The humidity here has gotten to me.

The humidity here has gotten to me. My bones hurt. Going to the doctor tomorrow because it won't get better if I don't. I'm hoping with everything I have that they can give me something for this inflammation.

We had a great skate sesh this afternoon!
