Gross!
I spent all of Wednesday night and most of Thursday morning barfing. It was gross. I think it was due to food poisoning … from my favorite Mexican restaurant. I cried while I was throwing up and continually thought; “I want my mommy.” When I talked to my mom mid-morning on Thursday she told me that when she’s sick, even in her 40’s, she still wants her mama. There was nothing anyone could have done to help me, but it would have been nice to not be alone and so sick. I couldn’t hold water down, and when I tried to take my migraine meds in the morning, they stayed down for about five minutes. It was horrible. I spent most of the vomit-ing time dry heaving … which made my entire body ache … and my neck still hurts from the tenseness. It was not fun.
What do you prefer when you’re sick? Do you like to have someone else around you or would your rather be alone in your misery?
I am going away this weekend; headed to the Mount St. Helens area. I may hike, I may just be lazy; we’ll see how I’m feeling. Friday night my salsa class ends … it might be sad. I’ll be starting a NEW class next Friday (Samba!) but I am really enjoying the salsa-ing I’ve been doing! (I’ve also been learning to swing, waltz, & do the Viennese waltz.) Working for a ballroom dance company isn’t ALL bad!

Oh, honey. You poor thing!
I hope your weekend trip is fun and that you’re feeling much better.
I HATE being all alone when I’m sick. I already feel lonely so much of the time, but it is especially difficult when I’m sick.

When I’m sick I just want to be left the hell alone. Come to think of it, I feel like that even when I’m not sick.
Have fun on your trip.

Im not sure, its kinda a a toss up. I mean it sucks to be alone when you are hurling… then again just the sound of hurling makes me barf and if the person who is with me is the same way, thats just bunch on never ending puking!! Really now who wants that!
Final Answer: Alone

When I was throwing up while in the hospital my Momma was there for one of the episodes. She didn’t go in the bathroom with me when I was doing it, but when I came out the look she gave me all but broke my heart. She knew, and I knew, that there wasn’t anything she could do for me, but it didn’t keep her from wanting her to.
