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.
