I have had an awful week!  My new boss is not a good person. She is very disorganized, doesn't train well and does not tell the truth. When I started my job my office and employee files was a mess!!! I was also given an extra job that  was not discussed when I was hired. I feel like I was set up to fail. Not only do I have to hire and fire people but I have to keep employee files, schedule CNAs and TAKE CALL INS FROM THEM 24-7!!  They call ALL THE TIME, all hours of the night. When they call I have to spend hours on the phone trying to find replacements because there is a state minimum requirement that have to be on staff at all times! This job is a 24-7 responsibility!  So trying to catch up a behind office, deal with never being able to complete any one task during the day, staying late, taking work home and taking calls all night, I have no time for my family and school. I hate to complain so much but this is not going to fly. And to put icing on the cake......... I am an hourly employee, but I only get $1 and hour when I am taking calls all night?   THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK

 So.... in dealing with the stress of all of this (I can't begin to describe all the distractions during the day that keep me from working in my office) I got a bad headache and stomach ache last Wednesday. When to the bathroom, just in time for stuff to start coming out both ends (sorry TMI). I was so sick all of a sudden!  I was literally in the bathroom on the floor and could not get up!  I stayed there about 30 minutes until I could finally get up, when back to my office and 10 minutes later, ran back to the bathroom. After this back and forth thing went on for about 2 hours, I finally had enough. I was exhausted, couldn't hold my head up let alone sit up or stand. My husband had to come and carry me to the truck and take me home........ Same situation at home. I practically slept on my bathroom floor and could not get out more than a whimper when asked if I needed help. My poor husband just watched to see if I looked like I needed help and then he would pick me up and place me on toilet and hold a bowl in front of me to catch that end of things all while holding me up so I wouldn't fall while keeping my 2 year old in line. Poor guy was a nervous wreck, I don't blame him for calling his mom over.  I REALLY GOTTA DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE GUY WHEN I GET HOME.

 Anyway.....

Stayed home a couple of days  while STILL dealing with drama from work (I have no backup). I tried to go to work on Friday, still sick, went to the doc for a shot of nausea medication and then back home. Felt better after relaxing over the weekend. Got up Monday morning fresh and ready. Got to work, closed my door to try to avoid distractions. Did okay until 10 minutes before the morning directors' meeting. I went in the bathroom and started the process all over again!  I told my close friend and co worker to take her phone to the meeting in case i needed her. I pulled myself together and went into the meeting. I sat there for 10 minutes and I felt it coming on again. Left the meeting to start my process all over again. Then went in my office, pushed all the papers on the floor aside, closed the door and fell out on the floor. I laid there until I had enought strength to send my friend a text message that said  "I NEED U".  She came running into my office and saw me sprawled out all over the floor (in my dress, lol). She went and got my boss and they took me to the emergency room in the car with my office trashcan. LOL

 I stayed in the ER until 11pm that night and finally got a bed and here I am 2 days later. I finally got solid foods this morning, bland oatmeal and coffee never tasted so good after having veggie broth, beef broth (when I said I wanted steak) and chicken broth for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  LOL

Then this HUNK of a gastroentologist came in and discuss a procedure about looking in my stomach. I didn't hear much of how the process would go because he was adorable!  LOL, nothing wrong with noticing the eye candy when you feel horrible. 

They figured out that a hiatus hernia I had from almost 9 years ago when I had my second baby has gotten worse, my stomach is all messed up from inflammation and my esophagus is too.  And I thought only had a 24 hour stomach bug.  I have been hooked up to an IV with potassium (because my is low), liquids (because I was so dehydrated that my body hurt) and Ferngren (the greatest nausea medicine around) My BP dropped dangerously low. So I guess no more Blood Pressure medicine for me. The good thing about the situation is that I lost a lot of weight!

I am also, unfortunately on the job hunt once again...

 UPDATE******

I am still here (Thurs, June 12th) and supposed to go home tomorrow. I would have gone home today but they kept the fluids pumping in me so long that I am now swollen all over like a balloon. I literally feel like I am about to pop! Hopefully I will go home tomorrow.
