Kidney stones and other nuisances

So I am home this morning sans children, too weak to be their mom. I will try later today, one at a time.
I have a new most embarrassing moment: kidney stones at work. See, I had pain for 15 hours before going to work, but I could handle the pain. But, during a meeting at 8 a.m. the pain became unbearable and I needed to vomit....many times. Laying on my office floor, curled in a fetal position, waiting for my hubby to come get me I kept asking myself why I thought I was so brave. I am not.
One hospital trip, two CAT scans, a hundred hours sleeping and a bladder infection from hell later I am recuperating nicely, I think.
Beautiful friends and co-workers are bringing meals for three nights, sisters and mom have been a blessing and Isaac stayed home from work to pamper me yesterday.
Today I will sleep alone and quiet and wash sheets. I can handle that.Yes, I can. And maybe, just maybe I will call some people that I have been meaning to for a long time.
I feel relieved that this has happened in a way. I had been in a foul mood for a week; tired, cranky, exhausted, a bit feverish off and on. Not enough to be anything but purely miserable. Some days I felt like a stranger in my own body. Little did I know that deep inside me a furious storm was cookin'.
Looking back I have 20/20, of course. It is a lesson well learned! Our bodies and souls are connected and even if our cognition is not clued in.... we know......we know.
