Well, the worst is over--but as always, thanks to Carlene's adage that "everything is tuition," I'm reflecting on what I learned from this bout of sickness:
1. Never take for granted that you feel good most of the time!
2. Remember that, whatever it is, it will pass--no pun originally intended.
3. You know you're feeling better when: you can't resist stopping by the kitchen on the way to warm up chicken soup to try one little thing with the brayer on the gel plate.
4. Enjoy that your family and friends are checking up on you and wishing you well.
5. Have a friend, like Pam, who just goes straight to Central Market and buys you exactly what's good for upset stomach and delivers it to your porch--Imodium and bananas and chicken soup, bread for dry toast, and a big jar of applesauce.
6. Remember, as Freda said, that people pay a lot of money for a cleanse, and you got one for free.
7. Stay in bed all day, in pajamas, guilt-free, watching videos and movies and reading something good.
