Care For A Drink?

Although I'm home, I'm extremely ill. Turns out I'm dehydrated. I had an appointment with my doctor 2 weeks ago and I explained that I wasn't able to drink much water (let alone the recommended 8 glasses) nor stomach the supplement shakes they recommended. Things I were eating were coming back up and I was afraid I would become dehydrated. Well, I was right.

I went in yesterday and had a 3rd Upper GI performed. Everything appears to be working, so my doctor decided to put me on hydration treatments. He wanted to hospitalize me but I flat out refused. So we opted for home health care. Which means I had to have a PIC line placed in my arm so that I can have an IV drip at home. The PIC line was placed this morning. So here I am, attached to an IV bag, carrying around the IV pole and just basically looking even more pathetic than ever.

The stupid disability people at my job think I should be well enough to return to work on Monday. Yeah, right! I got tubes dangling out of my arm and I'm carrying around a freaking IV pole! Not exactly ideal for my work enviornment. I can just see me yelling at folks to watch my IV lines and stop bumping into my pole. DUMB ASSES!
