That’s what happened after a weekend of pain meds that didn’t work, vomiting, dehydration, low blood pressure, high blood sugar and general misery.
Junior brought me in in the morning and stayed with me, regaling me with tales of her 20-mile hike to a hidden hot spring over the weekend. It was hilarious and kind of like a Junior version of Wild. It kept me very entertained and distracted.
Nine hours of IV fluids to replace what I lost, intravenous morphine that only kinda sorta took the edge off, testing that revealed a urinary tract infection, and eventually coming home.
Praying I can stay in my own bed the rest of the week.

Oh no. What awful suckitude! I am so thinking of you, and I’m so sad — no, I’m MAD — that you are going through this. Sending all my love.

You are in my thoughts. Pain sucks. Debilitating experiences suck. Reconciling your ego with what your present body can do compared to your more mobile body sucks. You are loved. We all want you on the other side of this experience.
