My head certainly feels in a better place having had some sleep. I worked on Monday, Tuesday, and Yesterday. I only did a few hours on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday I was out from 9-5 and I felt better having done something productive with my day. I asked my mentor to remind me of this next time I ask him to cancel work for me! I'm sure if I'm upset, anxious, and falling apart I'll argue against him, but it's got to be worth a try!
I'm not sure what will happen over the weekend and next week when the meds are finished, and I don't think I can get back to the docs, because I have worked booked in all next week.
I did go to the docs this week, and completely forgot to ask about sleep meds, because my head was elsewhere due to a gynae check up. Doc think I may have nerve damage, which may or may not be permanent, which is yet another thing to worry about. It's really painful, I know that, so I really hope it's not permanent, because I think it would be difficult to live with that constant reminder. It's like a burning / stabbing sensation, which gets worse through the day, and with sitting. I could cope with the pain, when I thought it would be just for a week or so, until my injuries healed, but now that it's not getting any better, it's another worry.
