I woke up this morning and just could not get out of bed.
I managed to print something off and a friend came by to take it to my teacher, but I felt so weak and helpless... all I could do was lie in the bed and sleep and sleep. I couldn't even use my wheelchair to get to the bathroom so (TMI!) I just grabbed one of my diapers-- good thing too because it was about 14 hours I stayed in the bed. Even now I'm just about ready to collapse from doing two loads of laundry and microwaving dinner. It was totally unpleasant. I'm used to at least being able to do most things, even if it's harder than for other people!
What do you tell yourself when you have to miss class or work? Do you feel guilty or do you tell yourself you legitimately needed it? I feel like this lazy layabout, but I know if I don't have lupus I do have something genuinely wrong... and I even tried to go to class and my body gave out! So even though I feel guilty about missing classes I don't see any way I could have managed.
