Today is my birthday, and this year I don’t really care. Why you may be asking? I feel like crap. I have been sick, and am still sick. I didn’t go to work today. I went to the doctor. I didn’t go out to eat for my b-day. no hanging with friends, & drinking. I did get blood taken though.
I don’t know how I made it to my doctor? it took a full hour on the subway. Then I waited a full hour until I saw the doctor. He poked and prodded for a while and then gave me a list of new prescriptions. he believes I am just having a cluster of migraines. Wow, I didn’t need to travel to him for someone to tell me that. he upped some med’s and gave me a bunch of different ones. Then he sent me to get blood work, just to be sure it wasn’t anything else.
The nurse took my weight with all my clothes and shoes on. It was higher than it has ever been. She said it didn’t matter since it wasn’t a checkup but put it on my chart anyway. When I got on the stupid gown and took my shoes off I weighed myself again and I was like 8 pounds lighter. Right in range I thought I should be. Dam chart is wrong!
Everyone was so nice. They were like “are you having a happy birthday”? dam DOB on all my paperwork. I was trying to be nice, but I was like I am here and feel like crap, how do you think my birthday is going? The blood lady was the funniest. She is getting ready to stick me with a needle and asks me that. I was like lady I am sick, at the hospital and you are going to stick me with a f–king needle, how do you think I feel? she was like, good point.
Thankfully I made it home with no issues besides a train full of annoying high school kids. Why do kids in packs larger than 3 think they are the only people anywhere they are? That is a question for another post.
I ended up in bed the rest of the night trying to sleep away the constant dull pain in my head. Lets hope the rest of my 31st year is better than my birthday.
