the week from hell

Calling this past week the week from hell maybe a rather strong statement. But it was a super bad week.

It all started with the movie couples retreat! Now don't take that wrong it was a pretty good movie! I laughed quite a bit, but after I got to my car and started thinking about it I started sobbing. Hysterically crying!

The movie starts with a couple that is thinking of getting a divorce as a result of years and years trying to make a baby. And this reminded me of myself. With the recent surgery and the all the pain that I have been in, I just couldn't help but think that I may find myself in that same situation in a few years.

Then on Wednesday I went into work like I would on any normal Wednesday...but on this Wednesday we (the editorial department) had a meeting with our publisher. And we never go into meetings with the publisher. At this meeting he told us that our paper will no longer have a photographer. At present I believe I am lucky to still have my job, but I was told that I have to start writting. We have yet to hammer out the details of how this is going to work. But from that moment on I spent the rest of the day, yet again hysterically crying.

My biggest concern with this is that I was already having issues with my job. I was already thinking about leaving. And now they are going to make me do something that I don't want to do.

Then I spent my entire Thursday morning in the cold. That doesn't make anyone happy.

And then Thursday afternoon I had a doctors appointment at which I am sure I could have picked H1N1 from one of the snotty kids in the waiting room. The one kid even had a face mask on, but it was too big for his face so it kept slipping down!

Anyways the appointment was to get some test results. Recently, I have started fainting. And I am not a fainter. This is totally new for me. So we did tests to try and figure out what is causing it. Good news is there is absolutely nothing wrong with me. Or at least nothing wrong with the tests they did. Bad news is I am still fainting. So I have an appointment scheduled with a specialist, an internist, to see if they can figure something else out. So that one is at the end of November.

That was my week.
