This Old House

What's in your toilet?

Yup, that's what I said.  Actually, I should have said, "What's in your bucket?".  I started my week off with a bang at the ER for a debilitating (sp?) headache caused when my pregnancy related vomiting shook hands with non-stop coughing.  This pain in my head lasted for six days and I had enough, I needed relief.  They gave me nubane.  That helped for a little while, then the nightmarish headache returned along with three lovely days of not keeping even a sip of water down forget the meds.  I was like a little helpless baby in my bed with my husband and friends taking care of me and everything.  Oh, my flesh hates that!  On Tuesday, my husband went to a homeopathic store and bought me some drops for my vomiting.  I took the drops and ever since I've been doing better and able to keep things down.  My headache is still here, but it is dull enough that I can handle it without having to be in bed all day. 

Thankfully, my bucket has been empty for the last day and a half.  Yipee!  I'm still weak and dizzy ,but I think I'm over a hump. 

One thing I've learned:  You can definitely take for granted the ability to get out of bed and take care of your family.  Lord, teach me not to complain when I can get up and do the things I need to. 

Continuing to get better, but keep me in your prayers...
