Today marks the first time I ate a plate full of french fries in about three years. It tasted great.
It also marks the end of one week of severe PMS – the whole shabang of bloating, aching, depression, constipation, endless hunger, inability to concentrate, being mean to people, and general blegh-ness…. finally came to an end.
It’s also the day that I went back to meet my dear 22-year-old boy after a whole week. It’s simply amazing…one moment a person’s breathing through a tube down his throat, totally sedated, surviving on the basis of chemicals and fluids going in through lines that go into so many parts of his body – all this just one week ago, and now today I see him sitting up in bed quietly eating fruit loops and eggs for breakfast. I wanted to tell him that he looked like a tired baby squirrel who had just come out of a whole winter’s hibernation and was now slowly eating his first meal in Spring.
Today also marks the day before my five days of hibernation – ie living/eating/sleeping in my room coz nothing/no one else matters till Tuesday is over. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. TUESDAY.
So here goes! See you next week folks! Thanks for all the comments – I will definitely reply when I resurface. In the meantime, HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!
