  • Crud be gone

    crudFor the last 48 hours I’ve had some sort of crud latching onto my life. I don’t know if it was the flu, a killer migrane, or food poisoning… but it has now past.

    It started on Tuesday at work. I got a headache, like a nasty one. So I took a couple Tylenol and started drinking some water. Within 30 minutes I started shivering uncontrollably, and got dizzy. So I went and laid on the floor in one of the classrooms at church so I could kind of regain my composure. Things got worse quickly.

    I ended up coming home by about 11:00 on Tuesday morning and basically laid around for the next 24 hours. Now, a couple of days later, I’m about back to 100%. (Though the headache isn’t completely gone.)

    The worst part was that I had all the pressure of MainStreet on my mind. Would I be able to do it? What would happen if I had to drop out at the last minute? What would happen if I tossed my cookies during a scene?

    Of course, MainStreet came off without a hitch. I wasn’t 100% myself but the rest of the crew did a fantastic job. More on that later.

  • Out of commission

    I made it through church today running tech at both services and the rehearsal. By the time the second service started I was feeling really bad. Somehow I made it through the worship set and then I went and crashed during the message. (Heard it in the first service!)

    After church I had Kristen drop me off at the Romeo Urgent Care. During my exam I was feeling very bad, I mean super duper poor. The doctor was listening to my chest and I breathed in and out deeply a few times and I got really tipsy. Somehow I made it vertical until he left the room then I kind of caved over on my side and fell asleep. About 20 minutes later or so the X-ray tech came in and had me go down to their X-ray machines. I was so dizzy, I thought I’d faint. Of course, the tech didn’t get a good image the first time and had to do it again.

    Long story short, I am sick. He called it “bronchitis” but he said he didn’t really know. With that he prescribed two mongo drugs and sent me on my way. With a tempurature of 103, it’s bed rest time.

    All that to say, I’ll likely be out of commission for the next 12-24 hours. As I type this I can feel the Codine kicking in to take me to a happy place. Since I didn’t sleep at all last night it is a welcome respite.
