Sleeping on the Job

[Chelle_]

19 days off 1400 miles driven and I am back at work....and I fell asleep at my desk.....opppps. Good job I have an office on my own and it was only for 10 or so minutes!!

On that note - HAPPY NEW YEAR! I see the new year is still bringing the same old challenges and some not so pleasant ones for you all.

I hope that those waiting on transplants get there's soon, those who have received them stay in good health, those of you struggling with daemons overcome them and anyone wanting a chat can find someone to understand.

I have realised over the past few weeks that I am not invincible and that I cry loads....my goodness I am like a wet weekend!! I have learnt that saying 'I'm fine' to my friends and family no longer fools anyone, and yes in fact I do get pain in my liver (area) oh and spending almost 3 weeks not chatting/messaging/emailing you guys does me more harm than good. It is good to vent, it is good to talk and food doesn't taste as good without salt!!

I hope your all doing well - you have been missed!

I can sympathise with falling sleep at work. I had to leave work a good year or so before transplant as I was caught falling asleep in the toilets, being late into work and generally being unable to to my job because of lack of energy and concentration.

I sort of got used to it and it wasn't until after transplant I realised how tired and unfocused I had been. I found that the consultants never really acknowledged that work would become difficult so I just kept going. The problem is if you have an unsympathetic employer, I did and had to leave before I got fired and got a poor reference.

Good Luck.
