Back from the Undead

     After weeks of pure pukey torture, resulting in the grand finale of throwing up on myself in my car in the parking lot of a drugstore this morning, I’ve gotten some medication from my doctor and a rise in my spirits. What a difference those little pills make. I’ve missed about one day of work a week since the nausea started and two this week as it became worse. I haven’t seen the inside of my Yoga studio in a long time and I’m really looking forward to getting back to my bendy life. Well, any semblance of my former life will do. I haven’t been able to use the computer because it made me nauseous. Work has been pure hell.

   I spoke with Drushka and Dita on Sunday, and told them everything that was happening. It had to be done. I’d missed two of our performance creation rehearsals and was really feeling guilty by that point. I wish that I had spoken to them sooner. They were really excited for Greg and I, more excited then I’ve felt in awhile. I was happy to giggle and laugh with them on the phone. It was Drushka who told me about the medication I could take. She was also really sick in her pregnancy and regaled me with all the horror stories I needed to hear. "You don’t have to suffer", she said. She was right, of course. I can take a maximum of six pills a day. I’ve taken three so far. I’m planning to take two before bed because nighttime has been the worst. I’ve been getting up every two hours or so to throw up nothing.

   I’m hoping that I will get some of my excitement back now that I’m no longer ill all the time. I hit a fairly big low, and I’m hoping that my outlook will improve with my health. I’d like to gain some weight back too. I’ve lost four pounds. I know I’ll gain it back soon enough. It was just a shock to climb onto the scale once a week and watch my weight drop and drop.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick update to let you all know that I’m back in action. I might pop out and grab some orange juice, or a smoothie tonight. It’ll be nice to wander out among the living again.
