Briefly

Extremely exhausted, though not quite exanimate. Toyed with the idea of calling 911 because I can't think of any other way to get to a doctor when this tired.

I'd better feel better tomorrow.

In other news, it's been days since I heard a cicada singing. I'm not used to being able to hear all these other noises I keep hearing. It's odd.

New housemates. So far, they seem pleasant.

Will now go eat banana.

**hug**

If you feel that bad, perhaps you should go to the hospital..

That's what the sensible part of my brain keeps telling me, but I'd really rather not.

I agree, GO, please go to the hospital and get help. You know that you need it. *snuggles lots*

Don't WANNA go to the hospital.
::pout::

I think I'm feeling better this morning, though I didn't get anywhere near enough sleep. Here's hoping I'm finally getting a bit better.

'Cos I *really* don't want to have to go to the hospital.

No sleep? *looks stern*
You really should go...don't you think you could get more help and maybe you'd get money if the hospital said that you were sick?

Oh, I got sleep! It was just about two hours less sleep than I would have liked.

don't you think you could get more help and maybe you'd get money if the hospital said that you were sick?

Well, I'd get more immediate medical help, but the process for getting money is apparently going to be slow no matter what happens.

I'm feeling better today than I was yesterday. Please don't worry too much--I'm not feeling great, but it doesn't seem like I'm dying either. :-)

i'm sorry you feel so worn out. hope the banana helped a little!

the cicadas are less noisy here too, i noticed just yesterday. guess they're burrowing into the ground again?

I think the banana helped, but not enough. Gah. I really was hoping that I could deal with my lack of energy through eating lots of high-potassium foods, but it doesn't seem to be working out that way.

I think the adult cicadas just die rather than burrowing. It's the immature cicadas that end up going into the ground, though I'm utterly failing to remember how they manage to get several feet underground under their own power.

Heh. Not unless Barry Manilow is having a really bad day.

If you're really curious, there are sound samples on this cicada page.

None of the house mates, or a local, can drive you to a doc or ER?

Because it sounds like you really need help tomorrow.

I hope you feel mucho better, so that neither ride, nor doctor is needed.

dehydration?

[identity profile] heatherp8.livejournal.com 2004-06-15 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
dehydration can make you feel extremely lethargic.
Are you getting enough liquids?
hope you feel better soon.

Heh. You sound like me!

Actually, unless there is something majorly wrong (diabetes, for instance), the amount of fluid I'm getting should be plenty. But with the way I've been feeling the last few months, I think it's about time to ask my doctor to order some new blood tests.

Gosh, I'm sorry. I had no idea!
Hope you get things cleared up soon.
Feel better!
Big Hug,
H.
