pain and suffering

And now, for the first time in seven years... I've called in sick......

.~_~

I was in so much pain this morning, I could hardly move. Tried taking pain medication, and just vomited it up. Couldn't walk upright, my body was so determined to be in the fetal position. It was horrible; I haven't been in that much pain in a long while.

But I tried. I made coffee and everything, and even while I was puking I was thinking "Think I can make it?" But I decided it would probably be for the best to not submit small children to that, and called in.

So I laid in bed and writhed in pain for four hours, until I started drifting in and out of consciousness.

Feeling better now. I think the meds will stay down this time.

But now I feel mentally awful. I know calling in is very very looked down upon here, so I'm a little bit worried that people will be mad, and I'm a lot worried that I've let people down. I know it won't affect the junior high, like at all, but I don't know if the elementary just had their plans ruined because of me.

Still.... it's not like I could help it.
