resurrection
May 22nd, 2007–noun: The act of rising from the dead or returning to life.
Last week had to be one of the worst I have every tried to live thru. It started when I went to Houston to spend Mothers Day with my Mom, Sister and hubby. Things started off in a bad way as on monday the 7th of May my brother in laws sister at the age of 52 upped and died. They held a memorial service in Las Vegas on saturday the 12th. While they were gone Mom and I spent saturday watching tv and relaxing.
They arrived back in Houston around 6:30 am on sunday and crashed for a few hours before we all went to Minute Maid park to watch the Astros play, Mom has been a Stros fan since they were called the Colt 45s. After the game I wanted to go to Red Lobster for some shrimp and of course their cheese rolls.
Now this is where my tale of woe takes a turn into the depths of hell, a place where no one wants to go. Around 3:00 am I was suddenly jolted awake by a rumbling in my gut that would make the eruption of MT Vesuvius sound like the whimper of a small dying animal. After wandering back to bed and waiting for others to rise and start stirring on monday morning I was trying figure out why I had became possessed by one of Satan’s Devils.
My sister said I must have been served one or two bad shrimp, I guess my sensitive stomach was not use to food that was not prepared by Dairy Queen or Sonic. Even though I felt kinda funky I started my 2 hour trip back home around noon and arrived home on auto-pilot as I was moving between bouts of extreme nauseous and feeling some what human.
I locked up the tank, went inside and laid down on the couch to rest between in frequent trips to the “head’ to purge my body of the evil doings going on inside, kinda like The Exorcist, bouts of green looking stuff accompanied by sounds from the depths of hell.
At my ever moving forward age, I knew that I needed to call upon all my resources to combat the evil that lurked in side of me, lest it over powered me and won the battle.
From that Monday afternoon until around 5:00 pm on Saturday, I lived on Country Crock Mashed Potatoes, toast along with H20 to wash it all down. My daily routine consisted of sleeping for short periods of time followed by trying to get my breathing under control.
Friday I made an appointment to see the Quack and get some relief from both my problems. After telling him my tale of woe he prescribed an antibiotic to combat any infection that my be lurking inside along with a corticosteroid for my emphysema.
Also he said I needed to start using a nebulizer to treat my emphysema, so now I get to suck in air through a liquid medicine that is turned it into a vapor 4 times a day. Oh the joys of getting old and almost worn out.
The only good thing about this is while at wally world on monday getting my scripts filled I heard a voice behind me and when I turned around there stood TCDW, so we had a short talk as she had to get back to work…
It’s nice to see a friendly face when you have returned to the living…
Now Erica that’s why I was not posting, I was dying and not doing a Zonker…

Everyone I know has contracted food poisoning from red lobster. I think a significant part of their budget goes to paying claims to the people they sicken.

Oh my goodness, Jerry….I do hope you’re feeling better by now and was genuinely concerned, because I know, firsthand, what you have to deal with, re: the emphysema. I’m surprised you’ve only first been put on the nebulizer. Tell your doc I recommend Advair, as that stuff about saved my life. You’d never know it, but I am/was (?) a chronic asthmatic who had to be pulled out of school many a time, and for lengthy stretches. As for the belly stuff…Oy. May you never know from it again.

My doctor called it a BUG. Sounds like the same thing that I had a few weeks ago.
