So this past week my family and I were suck with the stomach flu that has been passing itself around. Not covid thankfully but still scary because this was the first serious illness that Mac has gotten. I was calling 811 daily and I took her to the hospital. Nothing was too serious but the doctor was friendly and was reassuring that it was okay to bring her in. I know that I'm lucky that is was only a stomach bug but man it was scary. I was sick as well and not being able to keep up with baby and then having to go somewhere while sick really took a lot out of me. And it's time like this when I think, or I should more accurately say think after the fact, that I do a lot. And it never seems that way at the time until I cannot do it. I wasn't able to walk my baby without getting super nauseated. I wasn't able to keep anything down and thus the cooking ceased and crackers and toast were made. Even my Kung fu which I have been slacking on I was missing. I wasn't able to make it on Wednesday last class due to the flu. But I digress.
I really like doing the things I do daily and I want to continue to be able to do them. It was such a relief yesterday when I no longer felt like I was going to yarf up my breakfast and then finally last night the exhaustion went away. I went to class last evening online, I really don't want anyone else catching this bug!
I guess what I was trying to get across is even if I'm hard on myself most days for not doing things I used to, I gotta remember that I am still making a difference and doing the best I can.
Have a goodnight everyone!
