Okay, so I'm having a bit of a time catching my breath today. I assume like any injury this will go away in a couple of days.

I am struck by the thought that if my celiac had not been reocgnized and attended to, and had I not been fencing for the last three months, I would have chalked up my queasiness and fatigue yesterday to my general state of being, and despite having good instincts, really might not have figured it out. I'm clear-headed these days in a way I never used to be, and I might have shrugged off feeling like crap six months ago.

I will stop talking about this soon. I suppose it's a testament to me doing something right that I'm not having any "near death experience! must change how I live my life!" crap.

Yay for anticlimatic events, one supposes.

You will probably be fine.

The particularly toxic stuff in your bloodstream only had a halflife of 4-6 hours, so it should be gone by today, but your body will probably be weak and not up to par for a little while.

It usually only happens to people who were poisoned worse than you, but please monitor your health fairly carefully for at least a month, because sometimes strange things will crop up after CO poisoning: " difficulty with higher intellectual functions and short-term memory, dementia, irritability, gait disturbance, speech disturbances, parkinson-like syndromes, cortical blindness, and depression," and I'd rather you seek treatment for it immediately rather than maybe blaming it on something else, since so damn much of it is similar to gluten toxicity and exhaustion.

I'm really tired of shit happening to people I care about.

I want to beat the crap out of the car guy, but what else is new.
