Health- drained
I am exhausted to the core and beyond...
What did I do today that wore me out so much?
Let me see, I woke up around 6 hours ago and since then I have done a few searches on the Internet and sent off a few e-mails... whew... who would not be exhausted to the point of tears from all that activity? (Insert sarcasm with a heavy hand here)
I am not doing so hot on my struggle to get fluids in... if you remember from my earlier posts I do not have a feeding tube or IV nutrition and everything has to be by mouth and yesterday I managed to get 27 ounces total fluids in... today I am sitting around 8 ounces and I just don't think I can get another drop in. Add to this that even with the air conditioner going full blast it still got up to around 80 degrees in the house (compared to the high outside my house of 106) which (insert another dab of sarcasm here) helps so much when struggling with dehydration.
My husband is always fussing at me for 'over doing' things and telling me to rest when I need to rest, but if I rested when I needed rest I would never do anything but rest and there are things that need to be done.
A friend suggested soaking in the tub to try to re-hydrate a little that way, and I was going to try to do this today, but I have to put it off until tomorrow. I just don't have it in me to get into the tub and chances are high that if I did get in the tub I would fall asleep there or would have too much trouble getting back out... so it was a sponge bath for me and soon sleep.
Yep, I am whining, cranky, tired and frustrated by all of the above... such is life.
