So sick

I got up at my normal time to get ready for work and I was out the door on time as well. But as I drove toward work, I started feeling somewhat sick to my stomach so I pulled into What-a-burger and got a cup of ice. I knew I had a bottle of water on my desk and I would just sip on that for the time being. So when I got out of my car, I didn't feel too good but I didn't feel all that bad either. I got into work, drank my cold water and thought, "Now, I can work." I did feel ok but then it hit me, my head started hurting like someone was hitting me with a hammer. If only I could have seen who it was or I might have tried to hit them back. I put my pen down and just sat in my chair and put my hand up to my head....and then my stomach felt like I was about to upchuck on a woodchuck. My boss was gone to a meeting and the phones were driving me insane. It's gonna have to go to voicemail, I just couldn't answer that phone.

Finally when my boss came back, she saw me just sitting there, which is just so unlike me. She knew something was wrong. I said to her that I needed to go and lay down for a minute. She insisted I go into the lab because no students were in there, so I did. I sat in that lab and I think I got sicker. I don't even know what came over me. I looked around the room for a garbage can because I could feel something was about to come up and no sooner had I found it, I found myself on my knees over that trash can puking up my guts. I went back to my office to grab my purse and keys and I had to come home. I couldn't be there any longer.

I got in my car and all I could say was, "Lord, please help me get home." I drove home and when I got here, hubby met me at the door. All I could do was get in the bed. I thought that maybe if I rested for a while, then I would be able to go to church later on. That wasn't even happening. I just couldn't do it. All I could do was stay in bed. Even though I am feeling somewhat better, I was just too sick to do anything. Hubby came in and gave me some soup and it did manage to stay down. It's amazing what a little rest and a couple of hours will do.

Lovingly yours,
