Missed calls

Guess who just called?

Didn't listen to my message, just said "I saw you called".

I tried to tell her that I left a message that I wasn't feeling good. But since she already approached the patient, I'll do it if it works out. Hope I didn't sound too loopy, but I did say that I couldn't go anywhere until the pain medicine wore off.

Maybe that'll teach her to listen to my message first.

My phone will by default make you listen to the voice mail before telling you the number of the missed call. I can bypass it, but it's a nice feature.

Okay, I should let the pain medicine run its course.

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.
