Oh, I got sick AGAIN! I had to spend the better part of Sunday waiting to see a doctor who could give me a prescription for the super strong antibiotics that I need. I had to use all my cunning to figure out a way through the NHS maze of services. I needed to get hold of the strong antibiotics without getting hospitalised again (which would be the normal procedure). I succeded, but it took 6 hours altogether. I got enough tablets to last me a week. Really, the dying fibroid should stop giving me problems by then! I’ll find out if I can get the antibiotics online if I need them again.

Can’t decide whether to force myself to work tomorrow despite needing a fever-free day to recover. If I am home I risk getting a reputation as a weakling with bad health… Also I jeopardize my job, since I am not yet past my three month probation period (that’s Wednesday week.)

UPDATE: Thanks for the comment Paul. I went to work anyway and felt pretty weak all day. I was able to do a large part of the budget of my project.

UPDATE: A week later - still bleeding a bit… still hurting a bit. Enough antibiotics for one more day. Will I get sick again when I stop the antibiotics? I should be getting my period soon. I can’t wait for confirmation that my female parts are still working, but I am hoping that I have a ‘normal’ period that can be managed using normal protection. That’s why I did the surgery - my periods were like a horror movie.
