I wonder if I've alienated many readers with that last ultra-long post.
I wonder if I should admit that today is worse than yesterday.
I ate some Wisconsin Cauliflower soup last night - my favorite. It was so good and made me feel somewhat normal. I went to bed (at 9:30 I think) feeling hopeful and almost fine.
Woke up sometime in the night shaking with pain. Took a painkiller and went back to bed.
Got up this morning in hopes of making a scrambled egg to eat with the antibiotic (which is supposed to be taken with food). A sweeping feeling of dizziness and nausea sent me straight back to bed.
I just got up again, carefully, and warmed up the last bit of soup so I can get back on the antibiotic schedule (it's very important with the mouth being the breeding ground for bacteria that it is).
Had a thought to do a nicer post (about the Halloween book).
My head feels heavy.
By the way, I had thought maybe I could use these low-key days to sort through all the digital photos on my computer, back them up and organize them. There were a few other low-impact, and more important, things I thought I could accomplish too, but those plans are starting to fade. The physical being and the mental being are quite closely tied together. I feel useless.

ohhhh, i hate that you are going through this. thank goodness you found some comfort in the soup.
i loved the halloween book. what a sweet thing to do.
get back in bed! maybe your thoughts of "low-key" should be "no-key" for a while. {{{hugs}}}
{I know it is tough} but throw away that list, of even low key things. start a new list with only one item to accomplish and that is "take care of me".
Oh, dear. I've had it happen when I wake up in the night shaking with pain after a surgery. Yowza. And it's so hard to get back on top of the pain after you get so far gone. I hope tonight and tomorrow are better!
Oh dear, waking up shaking with pain sounds horrible!
Maybe you should be lying down a lot, so even organizing digital photos IS too much. Can you read without feeling nauseous? I'm sorry you're suffering with all this.
Hang in there Laurie.
Sorry you're going through this, again. I hope those painkillers are working. Just take care of you, those digital photos will be there when you've healed. I hope it gets better soon.
I love the picture of your jeans. You can see your personality just by the way you stand. I hope you are feeling better. I should call you, but you probably don't want to talk. So seriously you should write a book some day. You are an amazing writer! Ya, get better soon!
