Back on the saddle

bookzombieBack to work today after taking several days off sick last week to rest up. Not my most successful attempt at resting up it has to be said as what we reckon is stress-related insomnia kicked in instead. Sigh.
So anyway, back working from home today and as soon as I started using the pc to read and write text the yuckiness kicked in again. Double sigh.
I'm back on the tablets which are definitely taking the edge off the nausea, but it's very hard to describe quite how weird my head feels. At the risk of TMI, it's almost like my eyeballs are being pulled back into my head and I lost a bit of focus, plus a sort of itching/tingling feeling around the temples. All very strange.

pennski is giving me a lift into the office tomorrow as I've got a meeting I must attend (unless I don't sleep tonight) but then I'm going to work from home the rest of the week. I've got an ENT appointment at Winchester hospital on Friday to check everything out. I'm not actually expecting it to achieve anything other than confirming the diagnosis, but you never know.
I have to say, though, that people at work have been very supportive. My new boss has been fantastic, my new recruit has done a good job of picking up the slack (which is also useful to prove what she can do!) and one of the people I recruited in my previous role IM'd me today to check how I was and we had a lovely chat. I'm not ruling out the possibility that I may have to take some more sick before this is all over, which is annoying given that my sick record is not great this year, but sometimes you've just got to...
But the novelty has really worn off now - I just need to feel that I'm starting to get better. Bah!
