So I am just about to start day 2. I am feeling very rough and getting out of bed was a feat but I promised myself this time I would do everything that was suggested and recommended on this site. So after only4 hours of sleep I got up, rode our programmable bike for 10 minutes, took a long soak in the tub with epson salt, rested, got snuggly with spouse before he left for work. The kids were staying at their favorite cousins (she is 23 and a real treasure- I love her to death). Got into the car made, I mean made, myself go grocery shopping at Walmart- got a ton of fruit, easy fixings for the kids, Ensure, Valerian root, Whey protein for shakes, and special treats for the kids who don't deserve watching their parent go through this. Then headed to nieces to pick up kids. I helped her move some furniture around before leaving. Stopped to get gas and headed home to unpack the groceries. I feel sick and am wiped out but at least when I am moving I don't concentrate on the creeepy crawlies and how sick I feel. So, I am taking this break to write all of you and let you know that it has been hard, most of us have been through this multiple times so you all know- but your friendship and guidance has got me this far. If I can throw up, have stomach problems and feel my legs are rubber but still make myself go out and do things- it really is a testament to your guidance. Knowing others have been there and they did these things to get better faster helps tremendously.
A big thank you to the forum.
Time to go- I need to change my shirt AGAIN (don't you hate that flop sweat :))
