This last .. 32? hours has been hell. Sheer hell... of my own making, naturally.
I stayed up most of Sunday night, so I could get a good days sleep yesterday. So I tried all day to sleep, succeeding around 16:30 finally. Karen woke me up at 18:15 so I could get to work at 19:00. I was not happy to be awake.
Nothing was happening when I got there, and everyone left at 21:00... and the shit hit the fan. I was running until 01:30, when I got some slack time. I got most of my paperwork done then.
O'yeah, when I talk about "paperwork" what I mean is assembling the films that I've taken, pulling the patient's old films or making a new x-ray jacket and hanging the films for the radiologist to read, including pulling and hanging any pertinent old exams and reports. So it's not really "paperwork" but I can't think of anything better to call it...
So... at 03:30, it started all over again. I got up to the ICU to do my 05:00 exams about 05:45, which was not too bad, but then I had a series of stat exams that lasted until about 07:30. I finally got out of there at 08:00.
Interestingly, my legs don't hurt.
They're just numb.
That's a joke...
I usually call Karen at 06:00 every morning to wake her up and tell her that I love her, and I missed today. So I called her at work after I got home at 08:30 and mentioned my "joke" about my legs being numb. She was not amused. And yes, I do have a doctors appointment on Thursday Morning.
And now... did I mention that I am extremely fatigued? I think that I will take my bod to bed.
