I have now sent an e-mail to the rheumatology clinic, explaining my current situation and that I need to be on sick leave for at least 3-4 weeks - either I will get an appointment or a doctor will call me.
I have told the editor and other writers for an anthology I was supposed to be in that I won't make it to the deadline - and why.
I have told a colleague that I won't be able to teach next week.

Left to do:
Arrange for Maja's and mine vaccination
Tell guy I'm sharing the radio work with that I won't be able to make it for a couple of weeks.
Tell Art College that I won't be able to teach the Monday after this.
Convince myself that I don't have to work when I'm sick
