Saturday Blog 27012024

I’ve had an interesting day. I woke up around 3am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I had to pee and I guess it woke me up some. I rested for an hour and then gave up. I then read one of the Anthro books for an hour and maybe got some sleep. I kept waking up sweating. I was drenched. I finally gave up sleep around 10. I had some coffee and felt like shit. I knew I was dehydrated. I felt worse after I had lunch so went to the ED.

I didn’t want to but I knew if I didn’t, I could be worse by Mon. I was trying to drink but I felt so damn lightheaded. I just wanted to lay down. I took a cab to the hospital. It was busy so it was a few hours before I was scene. My veins were not cooperating and I was stuck four times for an IV and then again when my labs came back hemolyzed. I had a feeling it was going to be so because the blood flow was not great. They did a Covid/respiratory panel and it was negative. I didn’t think I had a virus. I just needed fluids and rest. After my bag of fluid was in me, I was discharged to drink more fluids and follow up with my pcp on Mon. I am supposed to have bloodwork done on Monday but will contact the office and see if they still want labs done.

I took a cab home and I have no idea what was going on around the hospital but it was brutal going home. Once we hit the highway it was clear but it was awful. I just wanted to be in my PJs and in my bed. I also had to look up the guy I have been having trouble remembering. I got his name wrong. Edward Thorndike. I had just written a note and it wasn’t all that informative. I hate when I write something thinking I will remember what it means and I read it and have no fucking clue. I read my psych book when I came home, but only to read the stuff on Thorndike. I wasn’t going to read the chapter again, even though I probably should. I will do that tomorrow.

My Anthro class is bugging me. There is a lot to read and so far there is no theme other than anthropology. The two articles I read today were not related at all. Even the books are different cultures. Maybe it will make sense next week when I read a little more. I haven’t started the book I just bought yet. I am working my way through the book I was reading at 4am this morning.
