Pushing the Limit

My body was pushed too far today, and for that...I must apologize. I got up this morning at 8am to get ready to go out for my day. Yes, I woke up with a 100.2 fever, but what the heck...I've been sick for three days and I refuse to keep being sick. So, I got my vest out and all my gear and went rafting. STUPID MOVE!! I sat at the guide stick and was exhausted after only five minutes. I was having to work my body when all it wanted to do was curl up in bed and get better.
So, from today I've learned, be kinder to my body...yet, tomorrow I will get up at 7am, put on my pack and grab my gear and go hit a wall of rocks...(that's what you get when you commit to something and feel like you just shouldn't go back on your word)...

Sick Again

Sometimes my illness knocks me on my butt, yesterday was one of those days. I think I was awake for two hours total. I'm exhausted today as well, but as the story goes, I refuse to stay in bed. I'm going to get up and do stuff! I was suppose to go out rafting today and I really really want to, but I know that I simply can't. So, I'll drive to Woodland and visit my family. Bad days are far and few between but when they come through, they come through strong and they completely kick my butt.

Gastroparesis

For those of you who don't know - I have gastroparesis - it's basically a paralysis of important internal organs needed to digest. Well, we're now thinking I have autonomic neuropathy which means that it extends beyond just the digestion system but includes all systems that are suppose to operate automatically - for example, temperature and blood pressure.

The reason I bring this up is because I'm having a sick day. I feel horrid! I have stuff on my calendar that I have to do and want to do today and yet - I'll have to go around hoping for a bathroom in case I have the sudden urge to vomit. Lovely!

Super Bad is a mighty funny movie! Haha!!
Anyway, I'm off today, throwing up again so I called in...poo. I shouldn't have eaten dinner last night and I know I'm nervous about the doc today so it could be that too. I think Wally is sick too. He's sitting here with me and he's all sad. Poor guy!
