& the wheel goes rOund
I'm still up a little early, and I am going to go back to bed, but I slept well last night. Hades is being cute AF right now. I still have a runny and stuffed nose and a cough, but my chest doesn't hurt as bad. I don't think I've ever had a fever so bad that I thought I might actually die. People do die from fevers. I'm still not certain about the underlying cause or how much time that means I have left.
Was I really exposed to a bloodborne pathogen? When? How?
I mean, it can't just be as simple as being in the same room as someone. That doesn't seem right and would be so stigmatizing.
A tattoo then?
I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I haven't had sex in a couple years. & I get screened regularly.
Still, that's what the urgent care doctor's computer said when I screenspied- that I had been exposed to a bloodborne illness.
I'm not even sure what that means!
I went into work today to try to explain that until I get bloodwork done to confirm this that I do not feel comfortable exposing others to a possibly infectious disease that has been left untreated and that today was the first day I felt well enough to drive into work to show them that I had been at the doctor's last Tuesday and been diagnosed with Gastritis. They told me that unless I was able to get a doctor to fill out the paperwork saying that I needed the time off between now and when I confirmed that I am or am not infectious that basically they would have to let me go for being absent.
I also still need to get an MRI! What a mess with all these swoppings of insurances. Can't go to this clinic, have to go to this other clinic now and get a new referral. Yes, this is because a neurologist suspects that it is possible that there are tumors in my brain or that I have had past seizures and wants to be certain either way.
This is so f*cked up! How long must I wait to get my health figured out. I've suspected small seizures since 2017.
Fortunately, I'll be going to the doctor who treated the fungal infection back then and made it go away.
Let's hope they actually treat my physical health this time instead of blaming it on my mental health and doing nothing about it.
