Easter Eggs....

Tonight, Jazzy colored some eggs. She made one for Miss Wachtel, one for Mrs. N. (Nukulovic) , and two for Julia... the little girl next door.... one of which was an egg with "chicken pox"...!!! Uh oh.

Food Poisoning?

About 7-8 hours after eating "dinner"... basically just some veggies... I had a wonderful 10-12 hours of continuous retching, vomiting... and lots of other things too graphic to describe. Poor Jazzy had to get herself ready for school by herself on Monday morning... and she did a pretty good job. I got her to school, and stopped by the local 24 hour "Acute Care" clinic for some IV fluids. Couldn't even keep down one little drop of water and was SO thirsty. Slept all day yesterday without even waking up until it was time to pick Jazzy up from school. That was heaven since I was so weak and dehydrated that I couldn't even walk. The homeopathic remedies that I took didn't work, or maybe just shortened the process... or maybe I just chose the wrong one(s). After waking up yesterday, I was craving salt SO much that I drank 1/2 cup of organic chicken broth with 1/2 tsp of Himalayan sea salt in it. Yum... hit the spot! Doing a little better today, went to the gym and did really light weights for about 1/2 hour. Two good things: I won't have to work out my abdominal muscles for a few days since they feel like minced meat from retching so much, plus I lost 5 #... which I am sure will come right back on. Glad this doesn't happen very often. Last time I remember was some time in the 80's when I was a "relief vet" for a guy up in Flagstaff. His wife made me dinner, and I couldn't even work in the clinic for 2 days:) Jazzy said "How's come Grandma can't take me to school like the other kids"? Well, Grandma can't fly all the way from Ohio just to take you to school.
Great way to start the week!
