We’re a little over halfway through with staff training and
it is going well. “M” is doing such a fantastic job and several times, I have
found myself thinking, “oh she’s doing that so much better than I would have!”
The staff seem to be bonding and are definitely getting more comfortable.
I, however, woke up in a coughing fit several times last
night and started this morning feeling even worse than yesterday. The weather
was cold and misty and I just wanted to crawl back into bed and sleep all day.
Instead, I taught canoeing for 3 hours. I tried to make an
appointment at the clinic in town, but the earliest they could get me in was
tomorrow. They suggested I go to urgent care, which is at the hospital about 45
minutes away. I knew that if I went to urgent care, I’d be gone for most of the
afternoon and it felt weird to think that I could leave for such a long time
during such an important time for camp. Even when I’m not the person leading
the training, I’m always here while it’s going on.
However, the older I get, the less willing I am to “tough it
out” when I don’t have to. And in this case, I knew that training was going on
without me and we have health insurance for this very purpose. So I went to
urgent care and ended up with antibiotics and an inhaler. It only ended up
taking 2.5 hours total. Hopefully I will wake up feeling much better tomorrow.
