Long Day!
Today was the day I went to pick up Kara. Tim and Vicky and I met in the middle of our two houses, a three hour drive for each of us. Last night and early this morning I felt a little queasy, but I didn't think anything of it. Maybe I was just overly excited to get my girl back. About an hour into the trip, the nausea got really bad and I started frantically searching for plastic bags. I hit a McDonalds and hit it hard! LOL! I was doubting at this point if I could make it! I prayed for God to take this away from me so I could continue on because Tim and Vicky were on their way to the meeting place with Kara. After that I called my mom for a pep talk and she recommended I stop at a grocery store for apples and Tums - the two things that always work for me. TWENTY dollars later (the only paring knife they sold was TEN dollars!) I was on my way with the windows cracked and I was crying. I was thanking God for working so quickly - telling me to get apples. But the nausea never went away! I had to keep pulling over and was dry heaving on gas station bathroom floors. After a while I just wished I would throw up and get it over with!
I finally made it to Tim and Vicky 30 minutes late with my mind made up to get a hotel room and nap there with Kara. I just knew I could at least function if I had a nap. Well, they offered to drive me home! Can you believe it?! I called my mom to make sure that wasn't rude to accept and she said "That is so nice!" like 6 times! Well, Kara and I went right to sleep while Vicky drove my car and we didn't wake up for an hour and a half. I felt much better and sent Tim and Vicky home from there (they're going to have a late night!). That was just so nice of them. You know what Vicky said when I said "You sure are going above and beyond"? She said, "That's what families do for each other." I sure love them!!!
Let me say, it was nice to wake up from my nap halfway home!
So, on my hour and a half drive home the rest of the way, the nausea came back, but only half as bad. I got a headache, and slowly all my joints started aching. By the time I got home I had a low grade fever. Needless to say, I asked Michael to unload the car for me and I went straight to bed, where I'm going to stay for quite a while!!
Thanks again Tim and Vicky - you are awesome!
