Feeling awful

Trip to beach sickening

- Kathy Golemiec Kathy’s Diary

Hey there, it’s me Kathy. How was your week? Mine was great until today.

I went to the beach with Vada and Carol and everything was going great. I spread the towels and they went looking for rocks. So while they were doing that I went and laid down on the towel.

I had my little umbrella with me. I laid there for awhile then the other two came over and laid down too. Well within a few minutes I went to get up and I fell back down. I tried it a couple times then the next time I got to sit up, I threw up really bad.

So down I went again. Carol and Vada gathered the stuff up so we could go home. I could barely walk.

There was a man and woman sitting on a piece of driftwood and they asked if we needed help. Carol said if they could just help her get me to the truck and each of them took an arm and off to the truck we went.

I asked where they were from and they said they had just moved here from Alberta.

That was as much talking that I could do except thank them for their help.

I got in the back and Carol had to drive my truck home. It was half way home when we decided it would be home and not the hospital.

When she got us in the house from the car, Vada had an asthma attack. Her puffer was empty. We calmed her down she was scared for me.

I took some pills and laid down on the couch. I was still very dizzy but at least my stomach was feeling better. Carol made us something to eat before she left. Thank you Vada and Carol - I’m sure glad you were there.

Well folks I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to get my bone filler medicine . My pain level is a 4.

My not-feeling-good level is way over 10 so I’m just going to say have a great week folks and have fun. Make sure you aren’t in the sun too long, use suntan lotion and drink lots of water.

Thank you for all the gifts and cards and letters. I will fill you in next week on what’s happening. Keep your fingers crossed that this passes soon. I hate feeling rotten.

Weight wise, I’m at 136.6. What did you think of my updated picture?

Send some good vibes my way. I really need them.

Have a good week folks and yes the houseflies are out.
