Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[peteyfoozer]

This is the first day I have decided to live. That was a NASTY virus that featured a 4 day unrelenting migraine finally devolving to garden variety head egg today. I couldn’t use my eyes to read or tolerate any noise so it pretty much felt like a lifetime with no distraction from pain. It amplified pain in my hips and back plus neck and shoulders and my throat hurt so bad I could not even whisper for help ci was afraid of dehydrating because I could barely get down a swallow and the one time I did, it came back yp with my pain pill so I was unable to take meds for pain or flu. I have NO idea what this was. Randy was sick first, complaining of headache but he said he had none of my other symptoms so Idk if he got a mild case or if I was so much worse because of my condition and lack of immune system.
Thanks for noticing my absence, it’s very reassuring that someone cares. Bless you, and don’t catch it!!

I’m glad you are feeling better. That sounds like a really awful virus. Is it going around on the ranch?

Sooooo Sorry you were so sick with the ??? virus. Between a headache and a sore throat it can practically kill you...
Reaction to something in the house??? Maybe time to seriously think about alternative living accommodations in the future. I am thinking that there are things that are making your compromised immune system constantly worse... You may have no alternative because of how sick you often get.

I have beat that horse to death. They won’t provide anything, he won’t demand it, and refuses to leave here. Hell, he hasn’t even removed the wallboard in our bathroom with the black mold yet. The best I’ve been able to manage is an air purifier in there which probably doesn’t help, but it can’t hurt. I have no place and no one else to turn to. I lost all my options when I chose to help my oldest son and wound up losing my home over it, only to be cut out of his life. I’m just muddling along the best I can, until it’s over. It might sound irrational, but it is what it is.
Nothing lasts forever. The good news is, I have improved immensely throughout the day so I’m clearly kicking this things’ ass!
