2/24/11 Thursday: Why does everything feel so hard.

This morning I woke up and felt so nauseous I asked Nick to bring in the trashcan in case "anything happened."  Well, something did happen, but I made it to the toilet first.  Then I felt very shaky and weak that I opted to go back to bed.  It wasn't really an option....I actually couldn't do anything but fall back into bed.  I slept until noon...(not at ALL normal for me)  and then decided I couldn't miss another day of work this week.  As soon as I got home from work (just a few hours later) I plunged myself onto the couch.  With my coat on and keys still in hand, I fell asleep for another hour.  When I woke I had no willpower to move so I lied on the couch half sleeping/half awake for another hour.  Aside from having a stomach bug and a painful back episode, I don't know what is wrong with me.  I'm so tired and have no strength (body OR mind) to do anything.  AND I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO! I'm not depressed...at least I don't feel depressed.  I am in good spirits...I just can't/won't begin again.  No, that's not true...I WILL begin again.  I just don't know when.


Regarding the acupuncture praise I gave out last night...I may have been a tad bit premature in touting total recovery.  My back still feels like someone knifed me on my left side, but I am still amazed I can turn my head in both directions.  I am going to ask Nick if he can pound me with my seven plums hammer again (explanation in yesterday's video.)  Overall, I am really glad I tried acupuncture for pain relief.  I think it did really help me. 

My good friend always cuts out articles from the paper about things we might find interesting. (Thank you, Alvo!)  The one on top is pertaining to acupuncture and the two on the bottom are topics pertaining to health.  I found them interesting so I'm posting them for you.
