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...
