Day 88: 5 Minute Freewrite
Here's my Day 88: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday. This was a tough one!! Thanks for the challenge as always @mariannewest! #freewrite
Indigestion
For the past week on and off I've been stranded on the sofa like a whale with a plankton's indigestion.
My stomach in knots, my body rolling with nausea.
I know it's the new medication I've been put on since it began when I started taking it but I've been praying for it to ease.
I know this feeling, its the same feeling I get when my stomach begs for food,
A feeling back in high school I grew accustomed to.
I used to starve my body, something I'm not proud of.
My Family knew it but couldn't force me to eat - although my mom tried.
I've always fought with food, it was something I could control - and sometimes not.
Although, with age I've grown better and better.
Even though the internal fight is there, probably always will be.
I'm getting off topic really.
Today I feel a bit better.
The nausea was still there but I'm in good spirits, maybe just trying to ignore that feeling.
It's not because I'm hungry though - that I no longer deprive myself of.
No, I know it's because of the medication - my doctor said it will get better as time goes on.
I've teased my husband though - "maybe I'm pregnant" something I know isn't true.
He's not ready and I'm willing to wait (not too long through ;))
No, it's just because of these stupid pills.
One of the stupid side effects.
But today, at least for now. I feel better.
I feel more energetic, at least more so than I have for a few days
And at least I am no longer stranded on the sofa like a whale with plankton's indigestion.
For that I am grateful.

It is no fun to be sick, and those lingering illnesses that seem like they are never going to go away are the worst. 🙁
Most certainly. Yesterday I was sent home from work, good thing too because I was not doing well. Feeling a bit better today. I think I may have gotten sick on top of what I've been dealing with. Just going to keep trucking though!
