And so I was hospitalized for 4 days. In between getting high on fever and f***ing-hard-on-the-abs chills, I found myself looking at my life from the outside of my body and realized a few things. At one point, I even had that Insidious-movie-like experience wherein I felt myself dreaming and going somewhere else astrally. (if there's such a word)
Anyway, here goes some of my musings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. I'm a dextrose addict. I almost always feel better when attached to it.
2. I will never look at mocha-flavored icing cake the same way again. Very graphic in my mind so I won't explain anymore.
3. True caring friends surprise visit you and you're all touched coz they remembered you....... and then they go out for lunch.
5. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy. No, it's not some house music that makes you tipsy. It's a non-invasive treatment of kidney stones.
6. The hubby is imperfect and it took this trip to the hospital to prove that even more.
7. Even if nothing hurts, you don't know for sure that you're not sick somewhere inside so it's always best to see a doctor.
8. 100% of male doctors are gay. (Well, at least, based on the doctors I saw during this confinement.)
9. A warm blanky can only do so much when the chills kick in; but a cuddly little girl beside me drives the cold away.
10. My Mom will always, always be there for me.
11. I cannot be a Mom and be sick at the same time. And so, the decision has been made.
12. That old adage that goes, "Health is wealth."
13. I am Superwoman.
There is one consolation in being sick;
and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state
than you were in before.
- Henry David Thoreau
