Good morning, Michael12 and everyone!
Had another awful day and night with menopause! It twisted my guts and crippled me up again! Trying to work with it, 16-hour shifts, was horrendous! As soon as I got into work, I grabbed a couple of paracetamol. I love cold water and drink gallons each day, but I can't take any type of pill/tablet with water as it makes me physically heave, so I guzzled a mini can of Coke, which went down the wrong hole and caused a massive and very loud and embarrassing coughing fit!
One of my lovely residents, Dave, in his 70s, who is severely mentally and physically disabled, and has a bad stutter, came over and started patting my back, telling me Don't die!''! After the fit, I promised him I won't and gave him a big hug! How thoughtful of him!
In bed last night, guzzling tea, my back pain was excruciating, hugging 2 hot water bottles, desperate need to do nothing but drink drink drink, head thumping like drums being banged with caveman clubs, sweat pouring off me, various gases exploding, my guts feeling like I'd scoffed a 10-course meal, they were making noises like a herd of rusty harmonicas entombed in concrete. I whispered to the ceiling ''If I pass over, lying here alone, in agony, tell my story!''
It was absolutely pouring down with heavy rain again all night, which was good; I had my bedroom window wide open with lots of lovely air coming in.
I managed to survive another night!
