Health- should improve
I am happily typing this from my wonderful lumpy bed in my wonderful Air Conditioned air under a working ceiling fan with lights... my power came back on about 2 and a half hours ago!
53 hours without power when you cannot control your own body temperature is a huge challenge and my poor Minivan ran nonstop most of that time as I sat in the passenger seat with Loki (my dog) and watched the world outside the window.
It just about drove me nuts to just sit there, because there is so much I have to do online that I cannot do if I can't use my laptop... G-PACT's Awareness Week ended as I sat through Hurricane Irene and I was unable to do anything to help end it with a bang. The Caldwells are still fighting hard for their son and I was unable to do any searches trying to help them find solutions... my online stores have products that need to be listed... I have to promote my story I entered in the Reader's Digest contest to help raise Awareness of Digestive Tract Paralysis conditions worldwide and I lost 53 hours of productivity. ARGH!!!
I will be hopping back on the horse and charging back into the fray in the morning after a good night's sleep (the passenger seat of a minivan is not a good place for someone wit heart conditions and leg issues to sleep, I woke with tree stumps where legs should be.)
My dehydration is bad (heat plus stress, sighs) but I am going to fight going back to the ER when it will really do no good it is not going to help in the long run and just cost money I don't have.
I can say that I have some of the best friends in the world... I was able to use my phone to connect to FaceBook to update my friends most of the time and they were constantly sending me encouraging notes and lifting my spirits. This would have been a much harder ordeal without them.
