i lost seven pounds in the last four days.
the bad news…i lost seven pounds in the last four days.
i won’t go into the ugly details, except to say that i know that once i eat solid food again…anything, like one small piece of bread or a grape…that the seven pounds will come gleefully rushing back.
i don’t look any thinner, but there is nothing at all left in my stomach.
it hasn’t been a very good week, all in all. things went from bad to really bad to even more bad than that. my temp. went up to 101, and my normal temperature is 96.8
yesterday kevin took me to the doctor, who gave me many drugs including two different kinds of antibiotics. i do believe they’ve started to work, except they’re making me kind of groggy, and i’ve already been without energy all week.
i’m totally sick of either sleeping or attempting to sleep and lying around all the livelong day.
especially since it’s SUMMERTIME, time to be outside enjoying the weather, not lying around turning on the fan and turing off the fan and asking kevin to close the window then open the window and piling on blankets and then just wearing a big t-shirt.
i had the energy to take a shower today, which was a relief.
we’re supposed to see “hairspray” at the little theater on the square in sullivan tomorrow night, and i really hope i’m well enough to go.
but look, i’m typing, surely that’s a good sign.
on a more global note, what about China? are we going to find out that every last one of the millions and millions of things that are made there are actually made of asbestos and kerosene and strychnine and botulism and bubonic plague? i feel this will be the case. soon we will be forced to make our own stuff, instead of relying on the chinese, who are only paid two dollars a day and have to eat soup filled with toxins because it’s tasty and cheap and they’re very poor.
did you know you can get bubonic plague from flea bites? at least that’s what kevin told me.
i definitely don’t have the bubonic plague.
ok then, i bet your week has been better than mine (i HOPE your week has been better than mine), and i hope to make up for it over the weekend,
