Sick Girl. Yuck.

I was forced to call in sick for my trip yesterday. When I use the term "forced" I mean that I had a really tough decision to make : go on my trip and possibly die or call in sick, see a doc and get better. Obviously I had to choose the later.


Ughhhh..I am so mad though. I really was trying to go to for a perfect record, but I really had no idea what was wrong with me! ( I still don't really, but at least I am starting to feel better!)

I am also really mad because I had to call in sick for my trip to AMS: AMSTERDAM!!! What the heck?! You know I had to be really really REALLY feeling like crap for me to call in sick on an international trip!

So for the past few days, I have felt like DEATH. It got so bad that I could no longer turn my head to the right or the left because it hurt so bad. My lymph nodes were swollen and my neck and upper back/shoulders were horribly achy. I am now sleeping almost 23 hrs a day and taking antibiotics with a nasal spray (apparently I had some fluid in my left ear, hence more pain on my left side).

Luckily, most of my neck pain/stiffness has gone away and I have been catching up on my sleep. Unfortunately, I really needed these days off :-/

My next trip takes me to MEM (Memphis) and MSY (New Orleans). Luckily its a very easy trip with really long layovers. Unfortunately I am going to be spending these layovers eating and sleeping. :-/ I am going to be boring. But after this 3 day, I have a meeting with my Manager and then I get to be home for a FEW DAYS!!!!!!! YAY!!! I haven't been home since the start of June, and I can't wait to get some rest and hopefully some good meals.


On my last trip I came up with some questions with other members of my crew..but I am too tired to remember/post them. I'll leave it for next time. Hopefully that's sooner rather than later...

Bad Bethany...Bad!

Sorry I didn't send an update your way for the rest of May...I have been getting..umm a bit "distracted" let's just say ;-) plus I've been super busy flying! (way too many hours were accumulated in the month of May!) I actually flew so much that they scheduled me days for "required rest" where I was not allowed to pick up any trips :( haha oops!

I'll try to bring in some updates soon...I am headed back to New Orleans tonight (aka thecitythatgetsmeintotrouble!) and could possibly have some time on my hands my second day there.

Stay tuned. I promise I haven't left forever.
