I guess this is sort of a post-mortem of this past week really. It has been one of the most significant crashes I have experienced since I started keeping track. Unfortunately I don’t know or understand how all of it happened – but at least some of it is clear.
I think it started last Thursday evening. I remember having a chicken burger but not the one I usually had due to a mix up with ordering. I didn’t enjoy it that much but as I mostly had it due to the fact that I was feeling too fatigued to make myself anything to eat – I ate it anyway.
I started to feel unwell on Friday – with some stomach issues to go along with the normal fatigue. This continued over the weekend with me spending some of it just laying down in bed. Monday morning I started feeling better but was still very fatigued. During the day I managed to get through my work but felt I needed some fresh air so we decided to go for a short walk. It was clear afterward that this had been a mistake and I was unable to do anything on Tuesday and Wednesday and was just off work sick and spent around 90% of it laying down in bed.
Thursday I wasn’t feeling that much better but I did log into work and did what I could. My boss was telling me to take it easy and not do more than I was able to (actually he told me to just go back to bed initially but I said I could do “something”). I had to take my Wife to the Doctors so had a long lunch and did that and then popped to ASDA briefly afterward. Bear in mind that that I only left the car to walk round ASDA for around 20 mins – clocked up 1000 steps in total by the time I got home. It was enough though – and I think any more would have pushed me over the edge. Certainly wont be going for a walk this evening like I hoped. Just 1000 steps tired me out! I actually had to go back to the car while my Wife paid for and sorted out the shopping!
This is getting very frustrating to be honest. I am seriously concerned about what I am going to be able to do on our Anniversary holiday in 2 weeks time!
I’m going to have to take it very easy for the next few days, I am planning to do a server move late Friday evening or early Saturday morning – so need to make sure I have the energy for that. Will be stopping work after our afternoon management meeting today – and may do the same tomorrow to help that.
