No I’m not still there. I was for about 8 hours altogether. Went in with suspected chest problems. The GP said it may be an infection of the lining of the heart!! WTF!!!! Got there had an ecg and chest xray pretty much straight away. BP and Heart rate were up from GP’s office. Probably due to being told I may have a heart lining infection!
Anyway after a blood test and blood gas test (Bloody hell that hurts!). They couldn’t find anything wrong with my chest but my liver wasn’t fuctioning properly. So off I toddled to give a Urine sample. This was exciting. I just assumed after peeing in the toilet a few times during the couple of days before I was a bit dehyrated. After presenting a bowl of Irn Bru to the doctor I was a little suprised to say the least. But he did a test on that and there was traces of blood and protein in my urine so I also have a kidney problem. They decided that the chest was due to stress and reffered me to Kidney specialist.
So then I got signed off work for a week. Dropped my letter off and asked what there was they could do as I’d only be paid SSP for some of the week and my sales targets are still accruing. So I’m not going to hit my targets. Well done!! I’m off work due to possible stress (and kidney infections) so stress me out even more by not giving me a chance to hit my targets and stop myself earning basic wage. So I spent a week at home stressing about work and what was wrong with my internal organs and where my appetite had gone. Now I’m back at work (first day back today) to an office move today, visit to specialist tommorow and a sh1t load of overtime to try and get somewhere close to my target in the hope I might get there. So in otherwords making myself worse no doubt. But at least I got a week off work where I could sit on the sofa and veg! Nope Mrs Admiralable saw it as free housekeeping and babysitting. So I had to look after the baby, the boy and the house! Fantastic!
