We had Stake Conference which meant having the 4 of us ready and at church by 10:00, which was embarrassingly difficult for us because we've been so spoiled by our 2:00 church time all year. We love it!
Anyway, we had a thoroughly enjoyable time watching Stake Conference on the big screen at our building from the soft seats (a Stake Conference first for us), then went home and ate a few chocolate donut holes (whim purchase from the day before) and settled in for some quality reading and napping.
Four hours later Randy and I woke up feeling well rested and a bit smug. But then I felt a tell-tale rumbling in my guts...oh no. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say I spent the next few hours in and out of the bathroom (thank you modern plumbing) and back and forth to my bed. I thought I had matters under control until I started feeling nauseous as well, what the? Not good. We managed to have Family Home Evening on our bed and I was able to surface later to watch The Amazing Race with the family, but that was it. Sweet Fancy Moses, what is up with the universe?
This morning I was down 8 pounds! If only there was a more pleasant way to lose this much weight in such a short period of time.
I was feeling dehydrated, dizzy and weak but was too afraid to eat anything, so when Michelle called to check on me (she knows there's something wrong when I don't post) and offered to bring me something I took her up on it. She and Eva kindly brought me a bag of ice, some Gatorade and some rolls for when I felt like eating again.
What a relief it was to be taken care of like that and to have supplies. I spent my day on the couch reading and napping while eating the ice and the rolls (so far so good).
Look at their cute ensembles and shoes!**Thoughts??**
Comment Window Tidbit: Why is it so hard to ease back into normal life after being sick? Part of me feels like saying, "Do you have any idea what I just went through?" Maybe that's why, I'm in shock that I recovered yet still have post-traumatic stress going on.
