Feeling Ill

Yesterday I had a bad experience with a bug that hit me very violently. I could not stop vomiting and was up all night uncertain as to what to do.

After deciding that I needed the emergency room, my decision being a wise one since when they gave me IV fluids and something for the vomiting, I felt better and was sent home within 2 hours. Although the rest of the day was spent napping and lounging around, it did bring back lots of memories of being that ill for even longer periods of time. As a matter of fact, the entire experience was like living an old memory from getting to the hospital to being sent home. The “drill” is always the same and of course the reaction of nurses and doctors is always the same when asked for a health history. Rattling off all my past surgeries and hospitalizations makes even the most seasoned nurse or doctor give me a puzzled look. It puts my life into check, and keeps me grounded that anything can happen at any time. l always need to listen to my body. We all should do that. When something is not right, question it, and take care of it. This experience reminded me of that.
