Tuesday didn't go so well. I was still so doped up from my last dose of Phenergen that I was having issues concentrating on my drive to work. About an hour after my I got to work my boss finally came in. She asked me how I was doing and I told her I'd made a mistake by coming in. Luckily she had someone she could call in so I took a deposit to the bank and headed home. I talked to her later in the evening and she OK'd me taking the rest of the week off.
As it stands, I plan on working until I'm told to quit or until the beginning of my third trimester, whichever comes first. I explained to the boss that with the Hyperemsis barely being controlled by the medicine I'm on that it may be a little bit before I can go back to work. She said she's fine with that and we'll just take it a week at a time. I'm hoping that by week 10 I'll be more or less back to normal.
Holy crap it took me 30 minutes to write this tiny post. I've got to use the tiny bit of energy that I have left to shower. I think Mr. W may drag me into the yard and hose me off if I don't.
Thank you all for your wonderful support. I've been trying to read and comment a little more. Please understand if my comments sounds a little woozy...they are. :-)

Thinking of you - wishing I could do something for you - if you think of something let me know
It is nice that your boss is being so understanding! Enjoy the shower and then rest!
I am glad your work is being so nice, and I hope you feel better very soon.
No problem on the woozy part, I just hope that you are feeling a little bit better really soon. As farah said, I wish I could do something to make things easier for you. I'll just keep you in my thoughts in the mean time :-)
Even if you are keeping things down, I still found going in for fluids helped drastically. I went in every 48 to 72 hours and it did wonders. I would even be able to EAT afterward, instead of just choke down the phenergan and hope for the best. My doctor wrote standing orders at the walk in clinic by my house, so I could go, get the fluids, and be home in an hour.
I'm sorry you're still feeling so awful. I hope you start feeling better soon!
Ugh, a fellow sufferer! I'm glad your boss is being so cool, and you're getting some care.
I have the same fantasy about week 10. May it prove true for both of us!
