Deteriorating health
I ran up to the acute admissions unit at 9am with my hair still quite messed up (didn't really comb it neatly) and without putting on any tinted mosturiser. And when my team saw me, they started laughing.
I was an hour late for my post-take ward round, and it was obvious to my team that I must be so completely exhausted from the on calls that I couldn't get up.
"Don't panic. I was late too...hhahaha" my ever so lovely Consultant said. :)
Anyway..
I can feel my health deteriorating slowly. I haven't been sleeping much, and everyday after work, I'll be studying in my room until abt 1am at least before I ring Dearie. I should probably speak lesser to him, but I don't think our 30-60 minute conversation daily isn't overboard, since he's the only person (apart frm my parents) whom I can bare my heart to. But it really is draining, and even though others have suggested setting a time, this won't seem to be feasible in our case, because he's usually with his paternal family during weekends and talking wouldn't be convenient, and unfortunately, that's the only time I am free to talk at reasonable hours.
Days whereby I would just come back home and collapse on my bed, sleeping instantly for about 2 hours, are becoming more and more frequent too. Practically everyday, my body would ache as well.
I know I'm terribly exhausted, and I am thankful that it's the long weekend coming up, allowing me to sleep my fill and recharge my battery.
I think the strong lack of sleep, and lack of proper food and nutrition are contributing factors. Sometimes I'm even tempted to just get a friend to take some bloods from me, to check my general health status (won't be surprised to find myself anaemic).
Been falling ill quite often too. Just within a few months, I have already seen the doc twice.
