• Blah

  It's been an interesting few days. Lots of drama with work, and health issues. One thing I am looking forward to is my two days off this week to see Mute Math!!! Reid us tickets last month, and I've been so excited since!
  Had to go to Patient First yesterday (after spending hours begging to be able to go, even though I was supposed to close. I just felt terrible, and was throwing up all day. Nevermind the fact that I took the manager's shift just the other day so he could go be with his girlfriend who just fainted. Yeah, I almost quit just so I could go get medical help. I was shaky, pale, and visibly disoriented. Fucking assholes.)
  And I wasn't just paranoid or trying to get out of work, I've been struggling with some major symptoms for the past couple weeks that resurfaced 10x worse.
  Turns out I was extremely hypokalemic (my potassium level was around 2.8; 3.5 is just around the lower end of normal.) and I was also so dehydrated they couldn't get a line started in my veins for an IV. I have to go back to get my levels checked again, and maybe even see a specialist to check my kidneys (I was born with kidney reflux, and I've had different issues because of it ever since). This isn't the first time I've had potassium trouble, I had a hard time keeping my levels up when I was younger.

  Hopefully I won't lose my job this week over dipping out early to go to the doctor's.
  For working in a male-dominated enviroment, it sure feels like I'm in an all girls middle school with all their drama and bitching and gossiping.
  What is wrong with men?!?!?!
