I, at least, got some sleep last night. I tossed and turned the night before in anger with Holy Cross. I must have slept another 12 hours last night. I thought I had a handle on the diarrhea but I was disabused of that notion soon after I got out of bed. Along with the diarrhea came an outbreak of my hemorrhoids. Life just keeps getting better and better.
I finally broke down and asked someone to take me in to Holy Cross tomorrow. The diarrhea has made me so weak, I’m afraid to drive myself in. Joel immediately volunteered. He was having breakfast with Barbara and she soon asked if I needed anything and would I like some rice and beans fro Jalisco’s. I said yes. I need some kind of solid food. I may not be able to eat it but I need to try.
Chris brought over some saltine crackers. She’ll pick up more tomorrow. Saltines kept me alive in the Coast Guard when we were out to sea under bad weather conditions. It at least gave you something to throw up when you were sea sick.
I have no idea what tomorrow brings – Holy Cross is not very forthcoming. I intend to raise as much hell as possible with the way this situation was handled with the extra scheduling or whatever it is they are doing. I also intend to ask for something for my throat and a new diarrhea medicine since Imodium doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. I’m having trouble swallowing pills with my throat issue.
I don’t feel great this morning but the main thing is I’m so weak. I’ll try to write more later if I feel better, otherwise, I’ll try to post something tomorrow after my “treatment.”
