 Patti
asked me if I was sure and I said yes, I was honestly feeling better,
like the worst was over. She hung up apologetically with 911 and
helped me onto the bed. Probably less than ten minutes time had
elapsed since I first felt odd, it seemed like hours. I lay on the
bed, Patti beside me, still concerned and amused at the same time
and I started to sweat. It was like, gallons of sweat. Rivulets
turned into streams, streams turned into rivers, and these rivers
spilled out the polluted reservoir of my bodies water supply. Out
you Lemon Pie!
Patti stayed
for a few minutes to make sure I was really all right and then
went into the family room while I still sweated for a half-hour
or so.After that time I felt well enough to join her in the family
room and the subject of dinner came up. I didn't feel well enough
to go out so we ordered something to be delivered. She thought
I was crazy to order Fish and French-fries but I doubt that I
could have handled Pizza. To her astonishment I polished off the
entire fish dinner and to her disgust I started eyeing what was
left of her meal.
Anyway, the
next day, Saturday, we went flea-marketeering and then we kinda
laid low on Sunday and I felt fine, perhaps both a little wary
and a little weary. I went to work on Monday and made it through
a busy day without any real problems. Tuesday, I didn't feel that
hot, I drove in to work and as soon as I got there I knew that
I couldn't hack it. I felt like I had no strength at all so I
went home and waited until I could make a doctors appointment.
When I went in they examined me and took my blood and sent me
home with orders to follow the BRAT diet, Bananas, Rice, Applesauce,
and Toast, no butter, no salt, no Lemon Pie!
The blood-work
came back and I didn't have any blood disease or anything,which
was a relief. I was just weak, and I stayed that way for a long
time, at least six weeks. I took my bananas and rice and applesauce
and toast to work, I was dedicated to that BRAT diet but in the
back of my mind I knew that there was still some unfinished business.
When I felt better, when I had regained my strength I knew I had
to climb right back up on the saddle of my favorite pony...That
Lemon Pie!
