I’m profoundly tired today, as I’ve been for the last week. Or rather, I guess
I’ve been tired for weeks, haven’t I, because of the parasite? It’s been
taking a lot of energy from me, which should have been my first indication
that something was wrong, even if I really did believe that I was an alien
from another universe. I can’t eat enough, and I can’t sleep enough. Today is
different, though. I’ve been released from the hospital specifically because
the parasite has been vanquished, but it was just a hard day, so all of those
kinds of symptoms are still around, just now for different reasons. Before I
could be released, I had to meet with all sorts of people; I can’t even name
them all. Doctors, nurses, a patient advocate (who was more advocating for the
hospital). The pharmacist came upstairs to tell me how the drugs that they had
prescribed me worked, so that was nice of her. At some point, a class of med
students showed up, but they didn’t spend very much time with me, since it was
my last day. Not everyone who came in was good. Two lawyers snuck into my room
in case I wanted to sue my boss. I’m not entirely sure how they found out
about what happened, but I don’t appreciate my private story being—oh, wait,
I’m the one who told them, aren’t I? I’ve been telling my story this whole
time on this blog, inviting all sorts of characters to come into my life, and
give me their two cents. That’s okay, I could sure use the money, right?
Anyway, I’m finally back home, and about to go to bed. I have to set my alarm
every hour and a half to take my medicine. It’s going to be hard to get real
sleep, but as I’ve already said, I don’t have to go back into work anymore, so
I guess I’ll just stay here until I end up with a total of eight hours.
