Boy, 3 infections in your body will do a number on you. Whoa.
Saturday night I began to feel human again.
The 2 prominent drugs I had to take made me so damn nauseous.
Then they gave me anti-nausea pills, making me so dizzy I walked like a drunk.
The combo of drugs reminded me of 2 things, one, being seasick, and two, when in my 20s and got so drunk the room was spinning.
Neither is a good feeling and that is how I have been 24 hrs a day for a week and I have 3.5 days left. But last night I was less nauseous. And today it's about the same. All be it better than it was but...
I am a sick cookie. Add the above to pain and you can see what a good time I'm having. I have some tests this week. Surgery will probably be mid-month. I will know more after Wednesday's colonoscopy.
I'll tell ya, I'm having some fun.
I will share something that got me laughing which of late has not been happening as often.
Rick was sharing a story with me.
He is standing in front of me while I sit in his ugly chair.
I hear something odd and I tilt my head like the RCA dog and then say, "What are you talking about I'm confused? I thought you were talking about cheese?"
"I am!" he says a bit pissy
I begin to laugh now realizing that he doesn't realize what he is saying and that to me is funny. But laughing only makes him pissier.
"Are you referring to Poutine, The Canadian delight of gravy and cheese curds on your french fries?"
"Yes yes, that is exactly what I mean, now you get it! I think the drugs have affected you, Margaret."
I laugh and say, "Your excuse then? 'Poutine', Richard, not Puttan, that's a whore in Italian slang. (Puttana is the origin) So when you kept saying Puttan (whore) in place of Poutine, the gravy, and cheese, can you see how I got confused?"
He was quietly standing there and not saying a thing.
Hopefully, that didn't make him angry.
Then as he goes over this in his head he begins to howl with laughter.
He said, "OMG that is so something you'd do. Oh my God, I'm sorry. Yep, whore in place of cheese gravy fries are a big difference."
Ya think Rick?

I laughed about " poutine " as " puttin " I'm so sorry hearing about how you are feeling. Life is a pain in the ass some time now you're dealing with this pain in the ass. I wish I could help give you some help. I'll be praying that things will get better my friend.

Tell Rick to look out for the poutine dripping out of the puttan.
Let's see, "whore" vs. "gravy and cheese curds". Nope, NOT interchangeable!
Sorry you're dealing with more health crap. Doncha hate when remedies make you feel as bad or worse than the infection?
Hope you're feeling better soon!
I really am sorry you're getting hit with all this.
Dammit.
Here's a funny for you. Yesterday morning I dreamed that my husband came walking out of a room in a house we don't live in and he was painted hot pink from top to bottom. I mean, it was colorful, but it left nothing to the imagination.
And he asked me, "You wanna do it with Pinkman?"
He makes me laugh even in my sleep!!
Feel better soon.
((hugs))
Maaaan. One thing after another! I also hope it’s just everything all at once, and soon followed by a quiet life. Thanks for still finding and sharing the funny though. Good luck this week. Olivia
Well that's not good news, I knew something was wrong since I hadn't seen you around. ((Big hugs))
I hate that dizzy feeling. So dangerous if you fall. Hope you feel better soon.
I am totally unfamiliar with poutine (or is it always capitalized?). Maybe it's because I've only been to Canada once, or maybe it's because of the french fries ~ 'cause you know how I love potatoes!
I am sorry you aren't well. I am quite familiar with dizziness. In fact, I had a migraine on Sunday, and I always feel dizzy and nauseous with them. Glad you are starting to feel better!
