I feel better today
Notice, I did not say I felt well. I feel better.
I seem to be very tired and highly uncoordinated. I have slipped a couple of times, and I feel like I am in a fog.
What happened?
Wish I knew.
I went to Emily's Sunday night. at about 1 a.m., I experienced some abdominal discomfort. I was like a menopausal woman...bloating, cramping, and highly irritable.
I laid in bed, alternating between freezing and sweating. I could not sleep. But I could think.
First off, I thought about winning the 400 million dollar lottery. I set up a scholarship program, funded several foundations, built a YMCA with indoor pool and splash pad area, complete with senior citizens' wing, a coffee bar, indoor soccer fields......and provided free membership for the first three years. then I thought about the train tracks, the petroleum trains that roll through town, and the devastation when they derail.
I actually visualized a flaming tank hurtling through the air and landing in her back yard! A set of train wheels crashed through the living room and into the basement.
But I could not work out how to evacuate the 5 dogs, cat, guinea pigs and me in my Honda. So mentally, Jackie had to come over and load the van. But then we had a problem....where to keep everybody because we don't have a fence and I can't leash walk all those dogs.
Then I thought about attending a World Series game in Chicago between the Cubs and Sox.
And another flaming train car smashed into the house.
I don't think I slept longer than five minutes during the night.
Monday I went to the doctor. They did a flu test...they take this long stick and poke it up your nose until it comes out of your eye sockets or ears. They did a blood test. They did other tests.
Official diagnosis?
You call it. Could be food poisoning. Could be diverticulitis. Could be C Diff. Could be something else.
All I know is I have lost 5 pounds....and am spending a second day prone on a bed, or couch.
And I have not felt well since Jan. 23. Time for spring.
