Hadn't realised you had gone public, stay strong!EverReady wrote:Week 2 and a bit in and I can safely say I won't be doing this again. Last weekend had the eldests Communion so they filled me with steroids for the day. What goes up must come down so I crashed like Prince Phillip trying to run over some villagers. Sunday the vomiting picked up and the week was pretty much that until Thursday night and I had a temp of 38.5. Not sure about the system in other countries but here it is a bit shambolic. If I get sick before 6pm I go to my dedicated cancer hospital. After 6pm or weekends I go to any A&E. So they told me from the start 'dont get sick after 6pm' and I didn't oblige. They told me tell A&E you are an oncology patient under Dr X so I thought I would go to A&E and the cancer team would breeze into the reception and whisk me off on a trolley to a special isolation area probably with games and bean bags. Turns out I was wrong. They had me in the waiting area of James's with not one but two prisoners with 6 prison guards and various other drunks and reprobates. Then I got the call after an hour and got brought into a new section where the nurse stabbed me badly for blood and said hopefully we will have a bed soon and put me in a new waiting area. I thought thank fùck those prisone...no sooner had a I thought it the two lads were moved to this tiny area beside me no accompanied by a mental drunk lad in a suit shouting THAT'S IT and OOOOOOHHHHHH A memory I will treasure. Anyway that was the night- me with a worsening temp and compromised immunity with all the mad bastards of Dublin. At 6am they put me on a trolley and said you have sepsis. Without missing a beat I said after last night I am not surprised. She took the time to explain I had the infection already which was nice. Silver lining was I was transferred to Luke's on Friday and had to be given a private room as I had to be in isolation after James's
Two days in here I appear to have sorted puking my face off during the day and might even stuck my hands down my pants later

Good on ya man, that mask is no joke and neither is the radiation.
She's finished the radiation.EverReady wrote: to both. Is she far in?
Oh one thing ER, it might not mean much right now as you're going through it and it may sound glib.EverReady wrote:The stress of that you are allowed get a fat hole for a while
That's the main thing really. I spent time in one of those gaffs with very little real danger but others around were in much worse shape. Two room mates much older than me went the other way. Keep in there, you've definitely got the right attitude to get through it.

Jesus. Senseless tragedy.Bullettyme wrote:Wasn't sure where to post this but needed to vent a bit. Got a message today that a friend of mine was in a serious car crash over in New York, thankfully he survived but 2 of the other passengers were killed. Irish guy and his US wife. Had met them a few times over there and they came to my 30th. Was really shook by the news, really chilled me to the core and feel absolutely awful. My friend has a suspected lacerated liver but he was the best of the 5 occupants of the car, which is something to be thankful for. But I can't help keep thinking if how traumatic it must have been, and this guy is one of life's good guys. Drunk driver apparently.

I just checked and her friend had sarcoma.
Thanks LC. Treatment a bit brutal but tipping through it
very similar to what I'm experiencing. Due to work drying up in the business unit I was in, I jumped to another team where there was an opportunity.Tehui wrote:I

I agree that it would need to be handled sensitively to avoid creating resentment. However, we do work in a place where people 'hot desk' and move around a lot so it's not that unusual.Rinkals wrote:Would your new manager (and colleagues) not regard that as a vote against them?Tehui wrote:The manager is good.

I don't want to sound negative, but could you be storing up trouble for yourself? Even if you can convince them that it isn't the case, there is bound to be a lingering doubt. I think that it has to be very sensitively handled, otherwise you might build up resentment. You may be better off coming clean and describing your state of mind accurately. Perhaps if you go to a doctor and get some kind of formal diagnosis, you can use that to justify wanting to move without raising the suspicion that you might feel that your new workmates are inferior to your old team.
Obviously, I don't know how accurately I have read your situation, so I may be talking absolute kak, but it strikes me that you may need to be aware of the possibility of getting people's backs up, particularly if your circumstances mean that you are a bit of an outsider already.
I suffer this quite a bit when going through stressful periods at work so I don't think it's that unusual. But seeing your doctor is the smart thing to do as your next step. Good luck and keep us posted.Tehui wrote: I agree that it would need to be handled sensitively to avoid creating resentment.

I've just spend the entire night tossing & turning and I can't get to sleep. I think i better schedule an appointment with the doctor. I've never experienced anything quite like this before.

Sounds like you have a good plan in place, implement it and good luck, also as has been mentioned a visit to the doctor might be good, check your blood pressure at least.Tehui wrote:The manager is good.
