Thank you.
This week has started badly already. Sunday I was shooting all day and at around 1pm I suddenly felt ill. I had a very sore throat and found it hurt to swallow. Then an hour later, a migraine hit and got to its worst very quickly.
By the time the shoot was over, I was shivering non stop, I could hardly breathe properly, I couldn't eat, drink or walk properly.. So when I stepped off the train and slumped into Dave's car, he drove me to the hospital and we waited four hours to have me checked over, blood tests done, results to come back and then I be told my white blood cell count was up and something else, which showed my body is fighting an infection.
In the end, I was told I have a chest infection, tonsillitis, severe migraines and I'm suffering from over exhaustion. Oops. So, I'm on antibiotics and tramadol and I've had the last 2 days off work. Today I wanted to go in because I had a training course to go to. But David refused to drive me to work because I'm 'too weak and sick to even attempt getting out of bed' which is true, but I was hardly going to admit that.. So here I am, lying in bed annoyed with myself because every time I stand up, the room spins and every time I move my eyes to look at something beside me, they go all fuzzy and make the room spin. It's driving me barmy!
So yes, my work ethic, the fact that I work hard every single day and book myself up with shoots every weekend to keep myself busy and to give me something to do that I enjoy, that I also work hard at, has now hit me full force and my body's given up on surviving what I put it through every day. It's frustrating. I cannot do anything apart from lie in bed, feeling the room spin and my head fall heavy, with the cats outside the room making a mess and scratching on the door, mewing to come in. I've not even had a shower or got dressed today, I feel that rotten. I very, very rarely get this ill. The last time I was this ill was 3 years ago when I had Swine Flu.
My body is itching all over which I cannot stand, I feel weak, dizzy, in pain and generally like a complete waste of space and a total, utter failure.
Sorry guys, I can't write much more, I've made a turn for the worst
