The weightless existance is a good way to escape the weighty burden of a body hampered and slowed by illness.<BR/><BR/>But as I'm more of a beer and potato chips style gal, I'd have to say, please turn your dial down to 1, way down from the 10 it has been set at. <BR/><BR/>Go for slow short walk around the block if you have to, not a bike ride. Let Robb arrange the kite, and you lay on the earth and hold the string. Please take it very easy, a lot easier then you suspect you have to. Liver pain is an odd concept to me, but it can't be good. You WILL NOT HEAL if you don't rest.<BR/><BR/>Please pamper yourself with bedrest, your both worth it. Please let yourself heal, and that can't happen wthout your committment to it. It's weird to make an effort to be effortless, isnt it? Put bluntly, It's got nothing at all to do with what you want, and everything to do with medical science. I'm speaking from experience here. Especially if this can NOT be treated with a pill, it requires even more rest then you initially suspected. <BR/><BR/>I want to recommend that you develop a film buff side to you, watch movies or PBS theater dramas, all in the name of visual work-related research, of course! You'll be resting and keeping your mind active and in the game.<BR/><BR/>AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-31055988910471990222007-12-28T09:20:00.000-08:002007-12-28T09:20:00.000-08:00These Buffleheads were photographed at Lake Merrit...These Buffleheads were photographed at Lake Merritt, just down the hill from our home.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-89872983865715668632007-12-28T09:03:00.000-08:002007-12-28T09:03:00.000-08:00Those are gorgeous pix.

They just show me something new every time I look at them. <BR/><BR/>I trust you're heeding what your liver's telling you and slowing down, even if it makes you stir-crazy. You wouldn't want Big Nurse to come over and SIT on you, now would you??<BR/><BR/>Damn, though, what a PITA. Oh. Ginger is good for nausea. Ginger tea, crystallized ginger, ginger ale, even those ginger Altoids things. Big Nurse <I>hates</I> nausea. Big Nurse would rather have a toothache than nausea. Big Nurse loves her some ginger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
