Today was a busy day but not a crazy one. I have been waiting for this new job to settle into some sort of flow. The constant go-go-go finally got me last Wednesday, I came home and just crashed, woke up the next day and it felt as though someone was beating me all night...sore all over, needless to say I called in sick wanting to conserve my energy and not let this get me. As soon I could I rushed to Whole Foods and picked up some supplements to go to war on this before it really got me but to no avail it came and I got, got. I had no choice but to let it run it's corse and it did, for three whole days. I never want to feel that again but it was not over, just as I was getting better "WHAM!" I woke up Saturday morning with a crippling pain in my lower back but to the right side. Wow I had never felt anything like it a pain so intense that just writing about it now gives me the chills. As I described to thee nurse the symptoms..she kept saying it sounded like KIDNEY STONES!!!!!! the pain was unbearable I, the pillar of strength that i am was wimping like a little girl. needless to say the doctor came by asked me the same questions the nurse just did...don't they talk to each other? I AM IN PAIN!!!....anyway, after draining me of almost all of my blood and urine...The Verdict!....Mr. Soto we've run tests on both your blood and your urine and you don't have kidney stones..WHEW!..you are suffering from a muscle spasm...What I was brought to my knees by a muscle spasm!?...Damn! that shit hurt!!! finally the nurse drugged me....mmmmm.....sweeeeet...what was that?..Oh just a 0.5cc of morphine...mmmm..gimme more wow this shit is good...no more pain. One hour and a half I was let go with 2 prescriptions one for Motrin and another for a muscle relaxant.
So for the past four days as I faced certain death I began to wonder about all the things I had not done....this seems to be a recurring theme in my writings..am I trying to say something?
Yes! I will no longer leave things that I want to do undone. Today I was so focused and determined to get it done that I had finished and did so with time to prepare for the next days work ...so tomorrow I begin ahead, something a had not been able to do until the sickness got me. I guess it was just my body's way of telling me to slow down, focus get organized then, start.
I hope that by me sharing this little experience that you will take that much needed time before your body does it for you....
