Too soon

Yesterday was a very good day, but I wrote too soon. After having a great meal, my body rejected it in the middle of the night. Nothing of what I took in is life. I am weary today. Sipping on purified water is all I can do. I was looking forward to eating a pre-Thanksgiving dinner tonight. At least I won't be going outside. This is the third day of demonstrations.

    Oh John, my heart and prayers to you. I hope that you feel better, that the protests are over, that you find a clock and that you can soon feel at home.

    I am also praying about your neighbors to the west, may peace prevail!

      Thanks, Fran. I've had three major bouts of stomach ailments and they wipe me out. I'll have to be very patient on the clock. The events in Gaza/Israel do not seem good. The third day of protests here have taken a serious turn.

    Hope you get well soon, John - 6 spoonfuls of sugar and half teaspoon of salt dissolved in one litre of purified water for oral rehydration is better than water only.
    Prayers and blessings

      Thanks, Phil. I will try that. I just found some ginger ale. I'm able to keep everything down now. My fever has cracked.

      Thanks, Lynda. I missed a nice pre-Thanksgiving meal today too.

    I'll add my prayers to the set, and second Phil's advice about the rehydration solution. It's what kept me going when I got some awful stomach bug while making the Exercises at Eastern Point!!

    But more seriously, prayers are promised for the situation around the riots, for the safety of all.

      Thanks, Michelle. I followed the advice I received. I had warm water with honey and salt. Then I moved to white tea with banana. I ate two bananas as well. Thirty-six hours later and I'm getting energy back. It is time for bed now.

      Thanks for the prayers. It is a volatile region. I hope they can peacefully resolve their issues.

    And bananas or apricots...for the potassium you lose.

    Sorry to hear you are so ill. Your major task is to bounce back. How many other clergy are with you? Maybe you are the only one?

      Thanks, Madeline. There are two others with me. They are a big help and they have been so kind to me.
