A Bad One

This is going to be a bad week ... I can always tell from the weekend after the TCH. I am fatigued with muscle spasms, cramps, stabbing pains, bloating, my nails are hurting and I cannot put pressure on my fingers which makes it difficult to do the simplest of tasks. And to top it all, the awful taste is back and I have no desire to eat anything. I have lost four pounds since Thursday. I am flavoring my water with lemon slices again which I haven't had to do in a long time. Staying hydrated is essential.

I know this too shall pass ... thanks Lucy for the reminder. But there is still this week to get through even though I want to curl up in a ball and shut the world out. Thank goodness for small mercies although in my case it is a big one ... it is the week long break between the quarters and there are no students! I can work at my own pace.

One foot in front of the other ... one foot in front of the other ... that is how I get through this week.

  2. Thank you! As long as Cecilia doesn't bite me! It's been quite the week but it's getting better now. The nurses will be surprised tomorrow or maybe they won't ... this is such an unpredictable thing. When you think you have a handle on it, it knocks you for a loop.
