Churning, turning whirlpools…



I woke up Monday morning with terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, stomach cramps… I am not sure if it is something I ate or something I am processing and releasing but whichever it is, it can leave, ANOIS!!! I spent the most of yesterday in bed… Patrick went to Starbucks to hang out on the Wi-Fi and found out that my mom is not doing very well. I had a feeling something would happen while we were gone… She fell off the bed and could not get back up. My dad could not help her up either so they called 911 and they came to assist her. I am a bit worried but I know she is in the right hands and that there is nothing I can do from this side of the world…
Meanwhile my stomach cramps go on… Patrick went in search of chips and alas came back empty handed. We made our way down to a restaurant and I ate some soup and chips. I love chips!!! I was sure when we woke up this morning it would be gone… especially after how many times I had visited the toilet!
Alas, I awoke to another day of stomach cramps. I told my body this morning, guess what? We have to move whether you are happy or not… I am going to put this pack on and we are going to get to the bus stop. Then we are going to ride the bus to Connel and you are going to deal with it. That is exactly what I did… After dinner this evening we went for a wee walk by the water. Lara falls is said to be one of the strongest tidal surges in the world. It churns and turns with the tide. This creates whirlpools and a beautiful dance of ebb and flow. While one side is flowing down stream the other is flowing up stream.
I am not sure what lesson all this is supposed to teach me at the moment. I know that my stomach still feels very much like that river out our B&B window. I would very much like to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed, revived and stomach cramp free… Sleep sweet world.. I love you belly… Please feel better in the morning! Signed, your body…
