So this is what it feels like to be sick all the time. I have been bedridden for the past week. I went to my primary care doctor today because I thought I had strep throat. I didn't. It is wonderful to not have to add another antibiotic. I am just herxing. Herxing is when all your symptoms flare up when the Spirocyetes are being killed off and it is a miserable thing! But it is part of the healing so I am glad to be here.
What do I do being so sick? Trying to sleep a lot. In between naps I get to watch the kids playing & talk with them. I listen to music as I try to sleep or a relaxation CD. Also I got a subliminal healing CD (I requested it from my dad and he had it sent this week!!), that is not nearly as hokey as it sounds! It is actually really beautiful with water falls and has a few positive statements to think about while watching the scenery. I have taken my kids to a summer library program and I got some books on CD which helps when I am hurting too much to hold a book (sounds ridiculous but I am hurting a lot these days). I just finished The Giver. Incredible story. Also, when I can hold a book, I am reading Grace (eventually) by Anne Lammot. The library also has some great dvd's. I have been trying to get documentary's so I feel like I am not completely wasting my brain. The first day of summer break, my daughter was whining she was bored and in her tirade said "and when you watch tv all you watch is dumb boring documentaries!". I thought it was hilarious!
Being sick is a whole lot of feeling awful in the midst of life continuing.
