theatokosJust when I was starting to feel good - no, great! - I am hit with the creeping sick again. I noticed it first in the shower. Sick breath, even after a good toothbrushing, is disgusting. I have it. And now my neck is getting stiff and achy (ouch, ouch!) and my head is beginning to hurt and all I want to do it sleep. I am eating garlic, sleeping 8-10 hours a night, taking vitamins, gargling with salt water, and drinking herbal tea - what more can I do? I guess just adjust, keep resting. But I gotta get back to my work. I've taken 10 days off from school work of anykind. I really, really needed that. I've read a novel. I've not even felt guilty. I think I needed that the most. It's been so hectic for so long that concentrating on deep and meaningful stuff was impossible. But argh. The sick. This is the only time I ever miss a microwave. I want to heat up one of those buckwheat/rice pillows and drape it around my neck. Big sigh.
In other news.... the home health nurse came to our house today. This is nothing like Kaiser's post-NICU nurses. All care for children under 6 are home visits. Hot damn. And I have mentioned, free, haven't I? We got along with our nurse and Bennett was in fine form. He even made a complex sign sentence! He signed "more, please, eat." Yay for communication!
In an hour I am meeting a friend for lunch. W and I met on a ministry program in Ireland 13 years ago. I think it's been 10 or 12 years since I've seen him. I have found memories of driving around Ireland together, being silly. He now lives in Cardigan, Wales, and he's driving over to see me. He's a wonderful person, flaky at keeping in touch, and an evangelical Christian. Last I heard he was planning to visit the Grand Canyon on one of those Creation Tours - where they look at God's marvel that was created only 6,000 years ago. I mean.... what do you say to that? All I can think of is, Huh.
