Sick Day
She apologized. “I’m sorry; we’re bothering you.”
My reply almost made her laugh. “Don’t worry about it. Right now being alive bothers me.”
We thought it would be a safe choice, but Mazzio’s gluten-free pizza never digested yesterday. I wasn’t aware of this, and ate another meal on top of it. Unfortunately, the entire digestive system had already shut down. I was up half the night, and even now my tummy still hurts. Pepto-Bismol is my friend.
While I work directly for God, He insists I self-manage. So I’m giving myself the day off. Maybe I’ll be a bit more creative later, but right now, everything hurts and I can scarcely pay attention.
Aw, poor thing! I can relate. You may know of this already but plain yogurt (no gelatin, no sweeteners) eaten daily is my best friend for prevention, and I’ve recently learned to make very simple kimchi-type fermented vegetables. Both help, thank goodness, as the wrong food choice can be such a disaster. Best wishes, C.
Hey Ed, if that pain doesn’t go away in a timely manner, I might have a suggestion for you. elisekasten@yahoo.com
Thank you ladies, both of you. Experience teaches me this takes about 24 hours to cycle, and I as write this recovery is obvious. The pain is under control. Plain organic yogurt is a daily item in my diet, but I’ve never been able to appreciate fermented veggies. Again, thanks.
