Where's the wall to beat my head on?

Yesterday I had kind of a minor headache going on. The Excedrin did the trick, and every four hours, I was reminded that it was time to take more.

Last night, I was up at 1:00ish in the morning with a LOT of pain. I was biting my tongue to not cry out in pain, choosing instead to toss and turn to try and find a comfortable position. That went on for about an hour, then I slept, albeit terribly. I gave up around 6:00 AM, and migrated to the couch.

Then after a few session of dry heaving because of the intense pain, I decide I'll call the clinic coordinator and ask that she not try and get me stuff today from the clinic. The last time I had to bail out at the last minute because of the pain, I got seriously chewed out, was given her cell phone, and told to use it to let her know ASAP. So I call it this AM around 6:15. It rang and rang, and finally got her voice mail. I left a message.

Just got an email. She's going to try and get me something later this AM. Why do I think that she never got the message?

Why do I still think I'll get seriously chewed out for this?

While the pain is reduced in about half, I'm beginning to feel the effects of the super strong pain killers I took to get to this point.

Well, I suppose the samples can wait until the pain medicine wears off. I just hope that I don't screw something up because I'm so tired. I hate having to process biological materials when I'm so fatigued.
