I don't know if it's my hernia, my GERD or a combination of both, but I started getting a stomach ache after lunch (salad) on Friday. It continued all weekend, building in intensity. It was so bad last night that I couldn't sleep. Every time I move, I feel like my insides are about to be on the outside. And I feel like I can't take a sick day or even leave the office a little early, because my boss has been maniacal about reminding me that I can only take a week of sick leave for my surgery before I'd need to go on short-term disability. And that's not going to happen. I feel like he's watching my out-of-office time like a hawk. I cannot wait for my surgery - at this point, I'm not sure if I'm more excited about the band or the hernia repair.
In conclusion, I feel like ass.
And to add insult to injury, it is particularly loud in my office today. See, I have this theory that I'm a "super hearer." My wife believes that she's a super taster (and that that gives her license to eat nothing but chicken fingers and soup). She thinks that she tastes things much more acutely than other people, whereas I believe that I hear things much more sharply than others. Like chewing. And doorknobs rattling. These are things that set me on edge even when I am in the best of moods, and since I'm not in a good mood today, these things are driving me CRAY-CRAY. The woman whose desk is next to mine has been on a personal phone call for over an hour talking about her savings account, all while the various mis-programmed chiming clocks that she has at her desk chime too many times on the hour. Seriously, I heard 11 dings when it was 2 o'clock. At the end of my rope, I had to break out my noise canceling headphones.
All I want to do is go home and curl up in the fetal position. *whine*
Hang in there :)
