Confusion

In the confusion between day and night, I forgot to take anything for nausea. Consequently, I was abruptly reminded just after three a.m. of the importance of this medicine. I think I misunderstood severe indigestion for some kind of mucous blocking my swallow and panic set in. The more I panicked, the worse I felt. I tried tea and Rolaids, but it wasn't until I lost it that I felt any relief. Two things--challenges are easier to manage when you see them for what they really are (temporary pain, not death-inducing blockage). And don't get so disoriented that you forget the most obvious preventatives for trouble. I'm a slow learner.
