Popping In

Sorry for pulling a disappearing act. I really was sicker than I thought. While I always tend to blame everything on the MS, this time I think it was the other way around. I think I had some stomach bug that awoke the MonSter, and I just fell apart.

On Monday, all I could eat were little bites of soda crackers and little sips of ginger ale. Even that upset my stomach. I tried taking some Pepto, but nothing seemed to work. In the middle of the night, I got very sick, and I realized that I had probably eaten something that was wrong or a virus was brewing. I had no fever, though, so I’m not really sure what happened. On Tuesday, after I showered, I just stayed in bed, and later in the chair. I never went downstairs, and I avoided food and drink. I watched TV, and I read, but I couldn’t do much else. I felt so weak and sick.

Yesterday, I did come downstairs, but I still didn’t feel like eating. My husband insisted I try some chicken soup, and I wasn’t sick from it. I was on my way to being well, again. Since I was still so weak, I did little except sit. By last night, though, I no longer had that sick feeling, and I was moving better, too. After a good night’s sleep, I’m starting to feel human again. I think I’ll still take it easy with the food for a while, but I’m managing to get around easier.

I do think I heal quickly, so I’m sure that I’ll be fully recovered soon. It was just an experience I don’t want to have again. Little by little, I’ll read all your blogs, and try to comment when I can. Just be patient. I could check my email and FB while I was out of commission, but I don’t have my blogger info on the phone. So, I’m behind.

Today is my little grandie’s third birthday, and I can’t wait to see him when I’m all better. He’s such a little doll, and I can’t believe the time has flown by so quickly.

Before I start to fade again, I’m getting off here, and just reading other postings.

Peace,

Muff

    1. Thanks, Judy. I, who rarely get sick, was defeated -- and that hurt!

  2. I keep ginger chunks next to the bed for chewing and sucking on. A very gentle way to approach tummy unhappiness. Sometimes you just gotta let it do it's thing, even if it is Really No Fun, but at least the ginger tastes good. (Ginger People makes the best, for my nefarious purposes.)

    1. I always remember my mother touting ginger as a tummy remedy. Thanks for confirming it. I'll have to get a supply for any other complications!

  4. awwww muff, so sorry to read this, I do hope you feel stronger each day. Being affected with MS, I know for sure, that it takes me much longer to heal and that infections impact me much greater than they do healthy. A UTI has put me in the hospital, pneumonia also....and it takes me forever to heal!

    I'm happy you got to see all of my Lancaster posts. I knew you would enjoy them!!

    1. Thanks! No, it isn't fun, especially since I'm usually so healthy (except for the MS, that is!!)
