Cold - from severely high fever
Angry with ICU - because doctors informed me that I was being put on one medication and instead put me on one that I've had dreadful adverse reactions and allergic reactions to
Angry with myself - for being too cold, nauseous, sleep deprived, on edge, and stupid to double-check what I was taking - was shivering and just wanted relief
Dizzy and lightheaded - head is pounding, room is spinning, body is freezing, and lord only knows where the bathroom is, but I need it
Worried - about a friend who has to have a procedure done this week - wish I could somehow take her place and yet still give her the pain relief she needs
Depressed - but my autoimmune disorders seem to revolt against most all medications - wish they could just put me in a coma and wake me up when they finally find the solutions (this being awake and aware and helpless is making me crazier than I already was)
Regretting - that when I entered this ICU on Aug 15th (for a 24-48hr anaphylaxis monitoring) I failed to get an advanced start on this soon to be new case of trauma and PTSD - guess I should have kept a trauma diary just for this, then I wouldn't have had to go back and try to remember all that I have forgotten or buried somewhere??? Simply looking for some humor.
(((Hugs to all during this usually trying time of year))) As for me, I'll have to be content with "I'll be home for Christmas ....If only in my dreams". It could be worse, as it is for the men and women overseas and their families back here. May we all carry them in our hearts and prayers. And may we support them when they do come "home".
