Sick as a Dog
There are some things you don't know. I am officially on vacation for the month of July as of 3 pm today. Something else you don't know is that I have been pretty darn ill with a severe kidney infection since last Friday. I suffered all weekend in major ways. If I had it to do again, I would have ordered the ambulance. But, I'm stubborn. I try to be tough. And I can't make a decision to save my life (clearly). Finally, after a diagnosis Monday AFTERNOON, I was given a shot, a prescription for a strong antibiotic and something for nausea.
Day 5: I am experiencing less pain Still not eating much. Trying to rehydrate. I am still laying down too much. No strength.
I won't bore you with any more details. Although, suffering is good writing material, it changes your brain somehow maybe your soul. I need to think on that. It's not like I haven't experienced pain; I gave birth twice -naturally. This experience has been...well...mind changing.
I also thought I was going to get a puppy, but it looks like that fell through. So that's disappointing. I'm so sick, though, it doesn't really matter.
I am taking some time away from the Internet. I may post some, I don't know. I DO know I want to write until my fingers are exhausted. That will make me happy.
This is what I will do in July, mostly: Write, think and write some more.
Take care.
Take care and I hope you feel better soon! {{Hugs}}
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy your 'vacation.'

"Although, suffering is good writing material, it changes your brain somehow maybe your soul."
ReplyDeleteSo true. I couldn't agree more.
Thinking of you, JW. Blessings and better days.
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, and hope things improve soon. Enjoy July, much happy writing to you :)
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself....I hope you start feeling well enough to really enjoy your vacation. {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hope the medicine helps and you're feeling great in no time. Maybe getting the puppy fell through because you were so sick. Once you're better another puppy may be available. Remember, things happen for a reason. You need to take care of yourself now and a puppy later. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy your writing and I'll be looking for you in August, if not before.

Teresa, that sounds miserable! Please take care of yourself and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteRest up, write, and feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteTeresa, sorry to here you're not feeling well, and hope you're up and enjoying our vacation soon!
ReplyDeleteThat puppy is just waiting for you to feel a bit better, then he will find you. They seem to come into our lives when we need them most!
Take care!
Sending prayers for a speedy get well...okay as speedy as it can possibly be. Maybe I should send prayers for speedy comfort...I'll just go for both.
ReplyDeletePraying you get better fast so you can enjoy your time off!!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon. Pain is exhausting, along with everything else. The right puppy will wander into your life when you're really ready for him or her, and not laid up.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you!
So sorry to hear you're ill. Take care of yourself, let others take care of you and relax. I look forward to reading your posts when you come back. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have begun to feel better Teresa. I know kidney infections can be horrid. Take your vacation time to rest up, and take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and may you enjoy your vacation!
Take care of yourself, get well, and follow whatever your heart asks with this time off.
ReplyDeleteTake care, heal, write and be prepared to share all the gory details when you return.
ReplyDeleteI suspect you may have a puppy when you come back too.
Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, take time to get better. I have a kidney infection and would not wish it on anyone. Milk thistle is good for healing your kidneys.
ReplyDeleteTake care & God bless!
