Still Tired

I've learned that being the center of attention is not nearly as much fun as I had anticipated. So, I've created this FAQ for you all....

• No, I am not contagious.
  
• I was at Beth Israel.
• Yes, I do have health insurance.
• The doctors have no idea how, where, or why I got it.
• No, I don't want to hear about your friend, neighbor, cousin or hairdresser who had it and almost died.
• Nor do I want hear about the newspaper or magazine article, or Dateline story about people who do die from it.
• I was on IV antibiotics.
• I am now taking two oral antibiotics, for a total of 6 pills everyday.
• Yes, I am eating lots of yogurt.
• The worst side effects are lightheadedness, dizziness, and fatigue.
• Other side effects I am feeling are nausea and loss of appetite.
• I will feel better when I'm done with the pills-next Friday.
• I'm just really tired.

And a few just for mom.....

• I'm fine.
• No, work isn't too much.
• Yes, I did make a follow-up appointment.

And, just to prove that I am more than just a cynical bitch, some people were truly lovely to me, so....

• H.S. Thank you for calling me at the hospital to see how I was feeling, and telling me to call you if I needed anything, and not once asking when I was coming back to work. That support is why I pushed the doctors to let me come back to work so soon.
• M.S. Thanks for telling me to let you know if I needed anything even after I came back to work. You have enough going on as it is without worrying about me!
• B.O., B.H., and R.L. Thanks for telling me how worried you were, and for being impressed with me coming back to work so soon!
• A.F. Thanks for forbidding me to do any cleaning around the apartment.
• V.H. Thanks for looking after the Paws-cat while I was in the hospital.
