After my hysteroscopy on Friday, I felt fine (apparently, until about 8pm). Saturday was a little rough, and Sunday I faught exhaustion all day.
Well, Monday and today were write-offs. Yesterday I went to school, but was exhausted. I made an extra-strong coffee, and it had no effect whatsoever. I was trying so hard not to fall asleep in class and was trying to keep breakfast down all morning. I decided I was going to go to work and at least answer emails and do a quick clean.
That was a mistake. I had eaten lunch at it really wasn't sitting well at all. I did keep it down, but just barely. I ended up leaving early to go home and sleep. Sleep didn't come very easily as I was very sick feeling, and had started to experience some cramping.
This morning I got up feeling even worse than yesterday. I barely made it through the bus ride to school. I got there and tried to rest a little bit, but was feeling very warm. My friend came in and asked how I was doing, and then said I shouldn't have even come.
By the time my teacher got there, I was about the throw up, and I felt sick to my stomach. When she started her lecture, I ended up running out to be sick. I got back and my friend and I in whispers discussed what I should do. My teacher ended up in on the conversation, and said I really didn't look well and that, like it or not, I should be home resting. She also admitted that a fever was very worrisome, and that if it got worse or even stayed the same, I should see a doctor.
So, I came home and went right to bed. I slept for about 3 hours, which brought me to noon. After about 2 days of forcing myself to eat, I finally was actually hungry. I ate, and sat in the couch and watched a movie, curled up in a blanket.
At about 3 I was exhausted again, and went back to bed. I slept another two hours and am now just starting to feel better.
It's 5:30pm, so, almost exactly 4 days after my procedure. I'm still groggy feeling, and tire very easily. I'm sorry to admit that this knocked me on my ass. I'm usually a pretty bounce-back sort of person, and I think I took that for granted.
I think I may need to take the rest of the week easy... Which will be super challenging for me.

Maybe I'm not on the mend after all...
