All I have to say to my friends and mom and dad and sis... is thank you for caring and to come calling today....BUT I have learned from this before not to waste a moment. That even means sitting for hours or days in the hospital for this as I have done before. I have learned from many of others not to waste one moment...Mrs. D, Chas, Grandma J, Jane, Lynne...the list is endless. Plus I will be told the same thing...another rupture already done and over with, get some rest, get a follow up CT (with the dreaded dye), don't take a thing for the pain (to monitor it) and if you start oozing from your nose, mouth, ears again - enough to fill the sink again, dear - come back and see us....yada yada yada. The last weekend in the hospital about half a year ago after filling the sink, my bed, the hall with the bloody mess, the numb hands and the blinding headache was the same as it was before - a waste of time and I was told the same thing...
It is the family curse and I got hit from both sides...mostly has hit the women in the family. Only took one so far....almost took Lynne about a decade ago. So I am lucky in that aspect. It just makes the headaches so bad....that most nights I can't sleep. Ah, yes the truth comes out. I just don't like to blab about it...not worth my time. But today it is. I have to do something to relieve myself of being bored and not able to work out or run the miles I was expecting to today. OK! OK! I really didn't expect to...I felt this coming several days ago - hence my "girlie" day at the salon to ease the tension with the reflexology and massage. My boss knew it...Hell she wants me to take some comp and annual time.
So I rest with the blinds drawn and await the little getaway this evening to sit under the stars at the woodland retreat. Tea, the stars, the woods, some TLC from friends....better than sitting my ass in a hospital full of h1n1 victims - YES!
