Starting about Friday I was starting to feel “under the weather”.   All weekend I got feeling worse.  I really was starting to suffer on Monday.  Buy Tuesday at 3 am the stomach distress was really painful, and by 4 am I was throwing up.  Also I was having with the other end, the part attached to what I sit on.  All day I would try to eat and end up in the bathroom.  Also a lot of gas was coming both ways when there was nothing solid to come out either end.  Plus I felt horrible.  I spent most of the day in bed Tuesday, I had spent a lot of Monday in bed, some of the day Sunday in bed … I think you can see the progression.  

I let a lot of people down on Tuesday.  Randy had gotten me a gift and wanted to talk.   I was so sick that I barely was able to open the package before a trip to the bathroom and back to bed.  Ron had planned to go out for lunch, it was going to be a celebration of returning to more normal times, because the only time since covid hit in 2020 we have been out to eat was with Randy, and then again with Randy and his folks.  Sadly it won’t happen this week.   

This morning I woke at 4 am, my normal time to wake.  I walked to the bathroom and I was so nauseous I knew I better not try to get up.  I stayed in bed, until 5:30 am.  Got up, even had a couple cups of coffee and tried to eat a bit of food.  It was a very small bit.  But it stayed down.  Until … 

Ron got up and I started moving around helping him get the trash ready to be taken out.  The Park now insists it all be out by 8 am, but rarely do they pick it up right after that.  But if they do and you call or put trash out after they go by, they won’t pick it up, but leave it.   Before it was 10 am and everyone seemed to have it out by then.  If someone forget and put it out after, when a park worker went by on their golf cart they would just grab it, taking it with them. But the park is going much more corporate and much more focused on profit over people’s happiness.   

All the movement and bending caused both ends to open up again and expel their contents.  Damn it.   So I am not quite as bad as yesterday but still not able to function, and as you see thinking is harder for me than normal.  Ron has given me medication to help me with it all.     I am trying to catch up, but before anyone goes to the effort to remind my self to take care of myself, I am doing that, and trust me I am putting needing to throw up, get to the toilet, and lay down as much as I can stand with my bone, spine, muscle pain.  

So the post I started yesterday morning will again have to wait as I go lay down.  Oh the pill Ron gave me is working, but not enough.  Best to all, and sorry I missed your posts and comments.   While I might be able to sometimes read from the toilet, it is often not the first thing on my mind.  😥🤢🤮😣Hugs.  Best Wishes.  Scottie

I started this post about 8:20 am right after Ron took the trash out.  It is now 1 pm, and I am going back to bed again.   Hugs.  Scottie
