Day 6: TKO: Technical Kidney Knock Out!!!


Saturday, October 20th, 2012

I'm not even a week into my year long weightloss challenge, and I'm down.  This time with a kidney infection.  This is nothing new.  And it won't be the last time this will happen before my journey goals are met.  I have a damaged kidney.  Chronic infections are immenent.

I woke up feeling great.  I got my exercise in, I ate my clean breakfast and snack, and I started to become noticeably fatigued around 2 pm.  I think that I may have actually written on Facebook at that time that I was going to lay down and watch some Halloween movies for a bit.  By around 2:30 pm, I was in alot of back pain, I had the chills, along with a high fever.  I have medication on hand for my kidney infections, so I took it, and crawled into bed.  The last thing I remember it was about 2:45 pm.

I woke up, thinking It was 6am and I was late for work.  In reality, it was 10:30 pm at night, and I don't work outside of the house.  I still had a fever, so I took some meds and went back to bed.  I hate taking medicine of any kind.  I may be a Nurse, but I am a terrible patient.  And, I don't like putting synthetic things into my body. 

At 2:30am, I was awake again.  This time, I had thoughts racing through my mind that pertained to books I am working on, and future goals and dreams of owning my own business.  These weren't just "random meaningless thoughts" running through my mind... these were serious ideas, and I felt like God was speakingn directly to me.  Thank goodness for my new cell phone/tablet:  There I was, at 3am, sitting up in bed, in the dark, creating "Entrepreneur Files" from all of my thoughts.  Bob "Tough Love" Kennedy, I will make you and Tosca Reno PROUD.  Sj, I will also make you proud, my trainer!  You just wait and see!

The rest of today is going to be very, very long.  I'm quite sure I'll be in bed very early. ;)
