1) My dog has taken it upon herself to be my one and only protector and healer. She will allow NOBODY near me and stands tall at her corner making sure I am well looked after at all times. She will not leave my side day or night. She won't even let my parents near, and she adores my parents. The pictures tell all.
2) The sicker I feel the better my students act.
3) I NEED Wendy's extra salty fries and a small chocolate Frosty just about every day.
4) I need pills to stop the nausea and the pills make me nauseous.
5) It's a VERY long walk from my car at school to my classroom. Sometimes I need to stop and rest.
6) I can't drink anything red. It reminds me of Chemo.
7) My parents are great caretakers. I almost feel guilty.
8) Sickness comes in waves. One minute I'm fine, the next I'm knocked on my butt. (sometimes in the course of a conversation with someone)
9) I sleep a lot but never feel rested.
10) I continue to have amazing support from my family, friends, and co-workers.
That's the top 10 (in no particular order) this week. I'm sure it will change as the weeks/months go by. Baby steps...
Sometimes those of us in the "helping professions" need a few lessons in taking care of ourselves!
