And on the sixth day in hell...she rested
I’ve just been through the most horrible week of my life.
I thought I knew what it meant to be sick. I was wrong, horribly wrong.
Five days of fever really do a number on your mind and body.
The most intense body aches, uncontrollable shaking, delirium, feeling your skin is being shredded by every touch. I wanted to eviscerate myself. My kidneys were swollen to at least twice their correct size, thus putting pressure on all others.I couldn’t eat or sleep. I couldn’t sit, stand or even lay down without pain.There were two days when I truly wanted to die, just for the pain to stop.
Endless weeping, such a feeling of eternal suffering. (and no, I am not being dramatic)
But, I slept today. No fever, I ate and the pain is almost gone. I’m very weak, but lots of rest will help with that. I can finally see the light again.
I didn’t have to endure this alone, Katdavar was here until this morning taking wonderful care of me. Holding me while I cried, refilling my water glass, and just being the support I needed. I couldn’t have gotten through this without him.
Did I learn anything from this? Yes. From now on I will take better care of myself. I will exercise, practice better sleeping habits, and drink a lot more water. I will drink much less coffee, and take vitamins. I never want to do this to myself again.
