Today I am really frustrated. I am sick... again. I debated whether or not to post anything about it. I don't want to seem like an attention seeking drama queen. I hate being sick because it limits my productivity. If I was sick once in a while, it would be ok. But since May, I have been frequently sick. Within the last six weeks, I have had two bouts of malaria and now... typhoid. Don't worry, it's not the typhoid fever you may have heard of that makes people really sick. After a couple days of a severe headache and abdominal pain, George tested my blood and I tested positive for typhoid. That is the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. If we didn't catch it early and get rid of it, it would grow and develop into typhoid fever. Fortunately, we caught it which I am thankful for. It's rare for me to get a headache unless I am really sick and I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was relieved to have an answer. The treatment is IV antibiotics twice a day for a week. Not fun.
I'm frustrated because there is so much to do. We have a pastors conference coming up and a team from RdR to prepare for. This is not the time to be sick.
While I have a headache (less severe now), stomach pain and am very tired, I don't feel as bad as I did with malaria. So, I am able to function with this, but I just don't feel well. Trying to do laundry one handed (due to the IV) is exhausting.
Please pray that this medicine will work and that I won't give in to discouragement. I just want to feel 100% again.
Thank you for your prayers.

ReplyDeleteTo God I do open my mind
ReplyDeleteLike life in its own extreme
That I raised my filthy hands to praise
Just as I am
That not my hands you see
But my wonderful heart and desires
To seak your beautiful words
As it is written
That by "His stripes we were healed"
So is the same words that remain
As you heal Stacie Larsen
