Since Sunday, I've had a little intestinal problem. It began in church that morning, and by the time I got back to my parent's house, I could barely stand. Even when I got in the bed, I couldn't relax enough to sleep, so I got up and wandered back through the kitchen.
"Would you like hot tea?.. Can I get you a pill?.. Honey, can I fix you some grits?.."
"Laura, I have some Tylenol, would you like one?"
These questions were all posed as I stood in the kitchen, hoping to find something appealing to eat. I began to laugh, one of those hysterical laughs you can't stop once you start. "I wish you would all stop asking me so many questions," I said between giggles.
Long story short, I rode home in the passenger seat, leaning forward to keep the cramps under control. I spent Sunday night early into Monday morning with my head hanging over the toilet bowl. I lost 8 lbs in two days. Today, I've had an orange, a glass of warm tea and yogurt.
I had a great visit with my parents. I was able to get my mother a gift she's wanted and spending time with her was priceless. I could tell that both my parents enjoyed the visit.
I would like to have something more astute or significant to say, but I'm still enjoying the afterglow. I have people in my life who love me, and being with them helps me become the person who can love others and express that love. So I took time out to recharge my batteries.
