I feel not that good ...


I had a Boostrix vaccination on Tuesday and since Thursday evening I have been feeling awful ... I thought I had been careless in ED and coming down with gastro or even the cane toad flu, but nope ... I checked the side effects list of Boostrix and I've got them all, and nothing else that would be considered consistent with a full blown flu or gastro. *sigh* I have not been able to multi-task all day, still fatigued and my muscles still ache. Fun fun .. I am oncall overnight tonight and tomorrow night before I finish on the Sunday and head home early Monday morning. I have been seeing interesting things and helping deal with significant illness over the last couple of weeks here ... as is normal for this place really. Fractured femur from a motocross accident, assisting with a previously healthy man dying from a massive intracranial bleed, shattered calcaneus from a fall from a water tank, pyloric stenosis in a 5 week old babe needing urgent transport to Brisbane, respiratory distress in a 1 day old neonate. I feel that Gladstone is becoming my home away from home ... great people to work with !
