Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
| Been sick for a couple of days, so I haven't logged in on the pc until today. Usually when I'm sick, I'm reading or sleeping, and that was the case right now too. I began to get very ill on Friday the 26th, that was the day I had to go to Antwerp to get my social security stamp. It started with diarrhea in the morning, but I thought with a few Imodium's it was going to be allright.... well I was wrong ! The trip from here to Antwerp lasts a bit less than an hour and the next train back is about twenty minutes after arrival. Because I was so ill in the train already, I hurried and succeeded in taking that very next train. Basically I got my stamp, returned to the station and jumped on that train. Two hours later I was in Diest again, my mother picked me up at the station and immediately called the doctor. I have rarely been so miserable as that day and the two following days. The doctor gave me an injection with antibiotics - I had a cold fever (35 degrees C instead of 36,5), I was shivering all over and even though I was stone cold, I was sweating. Diagnosis : colitis. Everyone else this period has some sort of influenza that looks like colitis but I, again, have the "real stuff". The doc gave me all sorts of medications but they didn't act very quickly, so he came back yesterday and prescribed me a second box of antibiotics. I hope I'm not going to get any symptoms of candida after that - it happened often enough before ! Anyway I also cought a cold - probably at the station - so it's all too well that I get more antibiotics right now. The cats were just wonderful. They already are so wonderful all the time, but when I'm ill they are especially affectionate. Or is this just a thought ? Anyway even Grimnir came to sleep on my bed, just as did the three others, for some days now. Mica actually succeeds in sleeping more than two hours in a row at night ! And there is always Conaire, who is more like a dog than as a cat. He follows me around everywhere I go, and when I'm in my room, which is often, he is almost always there with me. I like it to have a presence with me like this. My parents take very good care of me of course, but the soothing constant presence of a pet still is different. My mother was wonderful too. When I'm sick she's always so caring. She often asked if I needed anything - I almost never said yes - and installed the intercom in her room should I need anything at night. She brought water and medication to my room and even asked if I preferred that she didn't go to the dancing club she belongs to. I could manage, so I said that I didn't mind of course. Sometimes when I'm sick I think that I'm lucky to have my parents. What will happen to me when they are gone ? Then I'll be all alone, nobody will be there to take care of me. Unless I find someone with a big family and the need for a stable relationship, of course, but even then it's still going to be different. That thought made me really sad. I planned to start studying in my big psychology book that Willy bought me a couple of years ago for my birthday, but up till now I haven't done it yet. No energy, and besides I'm reading one of the Outlander-novels by Diana Gabaldon and that is much more fun than psychological theories ! What I did do is making a miniature 15-decades rosary in the form of a necklace in Lapis Lazuli and rock crystal. Very nice, and not flashy at all. I can easily wear it, with or without the crucifix. I like to design that kind of jewels, I should make a few pairs of earrings too. I still have some stones of each kind left, so I can easily make a few pairs. I'm feeling guilty because I didn't go horseriding for so long. On the other hand with the bad weather we had up till about two weeks ago, I couldn't do otherwise. But when I'm better and the weather is still holding up, I should go back and ride Aramis. Poor horse, nobody takes care of him now. And now for the coming week I think they predict dry weather (now it's sunny, 18 degrees C and very nice). So I really don't have any excuse, besides the fact that I'm so damn lazy I really should get a hold of myself ! |
