Sick

I've been so sick this past week. It started on Thursday. I'd get the chills that it would paralyze my body. I couldn't move- I couldn't do anything except for shake and shiver really bad. We were in Tremonton getting ready for the viewing, so I asked Jared, Bob and Cam to give me a blessing. I then had some hot chocolate and it warmed me up. I did okay during the viewing but on the way home- it hit me again and I was so cold I couldnt even think. I got in the tub right when we got home and it had only HOT water... no cold water... and it didnt help. Jared brought me some hot chocolate and it helped long enough for me to get out of the bath into bed. I was so stinkin' cold. My whole body tightened up--- I was so stinkin' cold. That night also- every time I got up to go to the bathroom- it's like I lost all bodily function- and I would just pee my pants. I think this happenend 6-7 times Thursday night. Friday morning we got up and went up to the funeral and I did fine until after the funeral and we walked outside to load the casket in the hurst-- and that cold hit my body and almost paralazyed me. I was so cold- I went to the van and cranked the heat- and put on 2 blankets that were in the van. I got some rather odd looks- but I didnt care I was so cold. At the graveside, I stayed in the van with the heater cranked and tried to warm up. Sweet Dawn brought me some hot chocolate but it was SO hot- I couldnt even put my lips near it. :) After the graveside, Jared took me back to the house and I went and fell asleep under 5 blankets. I was so cold and I knew that my body needed rest- so I went and slept while everyone else went back to the church to eat.

Later that day, we went home and was so annoyed with myself for being so wierd. I didnt know why this happened or what was causing it. And then I discovered it. I have an allergy to Gluten/Flour products. And I can control it with medication. I am given 25mg of my medication and I know that I can take up to 100 mg a day-- meaning 4 pills. Well- Wednesday I had taken 3 pills, Thursday I had taken 3 pills and it wasnt until after I took the 2 pills on Friday that I looked at the pills really close. They were 100mg pills!! So- instead of taking 75mg on Wed- I took 300 mg. Thursday I took another 300 mg and then I had just taken 200mg on Friday. That's alot of medication in my body that shouldn't haven been there!!!!! I feel a little like that poem:
Sick

by Shel Silverstein
"I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more--that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

It's been a crazy week and I'm just now (a week later) feeling like it's finally coming out of my system. What a not fun thing. I'm ready to go out and play!
