falling sick

took my first ever sick leave today...

i was feeling every funny with my stomach and headache last night... i thought i could do it so i went to work as usual this morning... i kept my mask on the whole day hoping not to get more germs or spread it further... but it didn't do me any good... and make me more hypoxic... i was having senior round when i had this vasovagal attack, again... i didn't really pass out but they said i looked *greyish*... sigh... i think greyish is worse than pale... because corpse is greyish but not pale... the sensation was so familiar... i should have known it and lied down earlier... i was so bad that i left it to my senior to do the round himself...

to make things more complicated, i was scheduled to be on call today... i thought i'm okay after taking a nap... but nah... i keep throwing up whatever i eat... fortunately my nice colleague agreed to swap call with me... the price to pay is i'll have bd clinic tomorrow and even worse, i can't go to chanel mobile art, for a second time, because i don't have postcall half day anymore... i was already quite upset when it was all full when i went last week...

think i'm having this vasovagal once a year... it's always the same pattern of symptoms... and i just couldn't care about it... perhaps i should start reading up a bit more...

btw, treetree, i'm very happy to learn that i was you today and thanks for taking over my patient... i was actually very sick when u're on phone... =))
