Red Devil 1 - Me 0

I lost. I mean, I downright lost. The Red Devil had its way with me and it's still kicking me when I'm down. I have been so very sick since Saturday morning, to the point where I just lost control of the nausea and dizziness. My nurse has been on the phone with me multiple times, and I think we might be able to do better the next go around. umph, I can't even imagine doing it again, but I have to.

 

I'm somewhat starting to emerge from its depths of hell, because that is what it is, Hell! I take lots and lots of pills, try and eat everything organic, drink tons of liquids, rest, etc. I'm not going to lie, it's hard stuff. It is certainly testing my limits of endurance and strength here.

 

Look at my naivete below... SMILING as the thing is being pumped into my blood. I won't smile again. I was in trouble going into it with a smile like that. Next time, I'm going to get my boxing gloves on!

 

I made it through a half day of work yesterday, but learned very quickly I won' be doing that again. I'll be taking a few more days off than I thought if I'm feeling that badly again. Today is better, and my students are being very respectful and kind. They are worried, and they are doing their best to do whatever I ask of them.

 

That's all I can muster up now. Sorry I have not returned calls, e-mails, or texts for a while. When I do, I'll be on the up and up. Until then, no sudden movements or loud noises...
