Our ward is obviously understaffed and I can't fathom why the administration can't give us additional staff. To compensate with the staffing problem in our ward, some of us have to work over time. It's okay if we have few census but we usually have the most number of census in the hospital. I hope that someday they would finally grant us our request as this staffing problem causes burn out.
Anyway, I am not blogging about the issues in the hospital. This entry is about my health. Last night, I had the worst migraine ever. I took Dolcet (Paracetamol + Tramadol) while I was at work so I can function effectively. It worked for a few hours but at 10 pm, I felt my head was going to explode. Thank God my patients weren't as demanding as the others. I was able to finish my tasks at an earlier time so I had the opportunity to rest.
On my way home, when my dad picked me up at the hospital, I felt nauseous. I wanted to bang my head on our car because of the head ache. If only we could apparate, I would have asked my dad to do that. As soon as we got home, I went to the comfort room to vomit. It's my first time to vomit due to head ache. I couldn't take the pain anymore. :( I went to sleep as soon as I finished taking a shower. I also drank 2 tablets of Tylenol PM Dose before sleeping. It has 500 mg of acetaminophen + 25 mg diphenhydramine each tablet. That's what I usually take when I have migraine in the evening.
Today, I woke up with slight head ache. That's the reason why I said it is a blessing in disguise because I still don't feel well. At least, I still have time to rest and alleviate the head ache.
Next week, I promise to consult a neurologist because I noticed that my migraine is getting worse. I also need to undergo CT scan for this. I really hope it's not really something serious. The thought of having to lie under a big machine scares the hell out of me.
Sigh. Why do I have to go through a lot of physiological pain? I'm probably really, really stressed. :(
