Be careful what you wish for
Remember yesterday I said, “Just get it over with - just kill me with the pain already and let’s be done with this month” ?
Well. This morning George is three days early. He JUST arrived minutes before I am supposed to leave for work. I’ve texted and emailed the mother I work for. Hopefully she’ll get the messages in the next couple of minutes.
To be honest, I … she just texted back… okay… I might just try to go in.
Anyway, to be honest, I knew I’d start today. I was in such pain yesterday that I took 800mg Ibuprofen at work. I was very tired and run down. Despite the tired, I got in some gentle yoga and Qigong three times yesterday. Before bed last night, I told my husband I better be careful what I wish for. I told him my bet is on the next 10-15 hours that george will arrive. I lost the bet because george arrived 7.5 hours later.
I’m off to work, wish me luck.
5pm Edit: I did it! I worked almost a full day! I was let out 2 hours early cuz a parent came home earlier than normal (she had gone in earlier in anticipation of me being ill). The pain never got debilitating. I took 800mg ibu first thing this morning, and then 4 hours later, I took some more. Which reminds me, I’m due for another dose.
If by some miracle I’m still feeling alright tomorrow and they still haven’t found a substitute, I’ll go in to work again. I was told that it’s okay if I get there and have to leave again within a few hours from the pain.
One thing about the blood - it’s back to being dark brown again. I’ve been taking my sepia pills as instructed. Last month, I had healthy bright blood from the start of the cycle. So now I’m wondering if I have another ovarian cyst growing. Sometimes I wonder why I analyse my period so much, because in 22 years, I’ve never been able to figure it out yet.
