First, good news. I figured out why I was waking up screaming. The dose of melatonin was too much for me. I stopped taking it and haven't had an incident since. Just a side effect. No need to see Dr. L.
We have been home from our vacation for about two days. I am in severe pain. Symptoms of every kind are extreme right now. Large combo package of reasons, not the least of which is just exhaustion and jet lag. Last night I slept from midnight to noon. Tonight, took an evil melatonin just now at 7:30 to try to help me reestablish a normal sleep time.
I can't wait to share the stories of my ginormous adventure. I honestly did not think I'd be able to ever enjoy my life in the way I did last week since I first got sick. I thought that kind of delight was just out of reach for me. I was wrong. Blessedly, blessedly wrong.
I took many pics and movies. I rediscovered my sweetheart's fierce love for me and defense of me to any predator. I beheld some of the Lord's creation which left me speechless and teary eyed.
I did write "journal entries" two days and will share those as is. But, the rest will have to wait until I can start to spare spoons for the telling. My speech is just sort of gone right now. I want so badly to call my folks and share with them the stories of my fabulous time but, my body won't cooperate at this point.
I have a happy life. I am a blessed woman. I hope some spark of light the Lord gave me shines on others I meet. Tim suggested, and discussed at length, the fact that he thinks that I really should write a book, and not just this blog, about my experience with life and this condition. Share all I have learned. Others have suggested it before but, he now would really like to see me do it. It seems like a daunting task but, so does that pile of dirty dishes when I hurt this bad. :/
Have some household help coming tomorrow.
Happy, happy days!
Marie
