Because last night was a nightmare. I got sick, so sick that Quentin had to run me to the Emergency Room. There's a virus going around that I got, and got bad. Shouting groceries, the trots, and dizzy spells, two of which had me passing out. The third time I got dizzy, I had Quentin get the car going and found the energy to get some clothes on so we could run to the Harrison ER. Five hours later, we were headed home, me with two litres of IV fluid in me, some anti-nausea medication in the IV, and a prescription for some strong anti-diarrhea medicine to take for nearly three weeks. I still feel like crap, but we did get our running done for the day and home again in about six hours. Then I lay down for a two-hour nap. Quentin made me use disability carts everywhere we went, and wouldn't let me carry anything in the house when we got here. I'm just now up, warming up water for bathing and some chicken noodle soup to feed me so I don't get sick again. Then I hope to have the energy to put away the clean laundry. Quentin's a rock, he put away everything else. Bless him, because last night, he was sitting on the edge of tub while I was heaving up my toenails, and got to see me pass out on the floor at his feet. That should have been my warning to get going, but stubborn me hoped laying down would let me sleep and get better, but nope. Thus the trip to the ER.
And while we were out today, I was dressed but felt so crappy yet, I wore my slippers, even to Wal-Mart. Thus, I was a Wal-Martian today.
Among other things, I finished a book again this week, when I felt better. I love sci-fi and fantasy for pure escapism, and it's a lot of fun when I find a book or series that's good. This one was book one of a three-book series by Elizabeth C. Monk called Shattered: The Children of Man. It ends with a twist that you don't really expect, and leads well into the next book, which I now have GOT to get, lol. Me and my books.
So my soup is ready and I'm off here to eat something that will help push this crap through me so I can feel up to working next week. Be safe everybody! (I have to or Quentin will kick my butt.)
Aw sweetie I hope you do get better.I was taking honey and cinnamon mix and started feeling better.There is something going around and we got it here too.There is a stomache virus that has everybody sick.It took two weeks for me to get over what I had.Mainly if you keep fluids(they told that at the ER)in you it will help.You're so lucky Quentin was there to help you.Hope you get better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm better-ish now, feeling ok but still kind of tired and slow. Once Q is ready to go, we're going to get the energy together to go get a couple pieces of hardie-backer for the stove wall and get it up today. Well, HE'LL get it up and I'll finally get the laundry put away. I'm under "orders from headquarters" (hubby) to take it easy today as we have a six-day workweek coming up. So lots of time will be spent sitting and doing hobby stuff today and playing Ghosts of Mistwood on Facebook, lol.
