Day 51: Now I’m Sick

I had a feeling that the extra care for my husband and son over the weekend might catch up to me. Fortunately, my only symptom is more of a nuisance than derailment. I woke up in the middle of the night with trouble swallowing, a sore throat! We didn’t have any more medicine to relieve my throat, so I had to toughen it out until daytime. Fortunately, once I was able to get medicine, I could eat ramen and drink tea.

My In-Body Scan is tomorrow morning, so my plan for the day is to stay hydrated! I’m glad that I have symptom-relieving medication to make swallowing possible. I’m trying not to think too much about the progress my scan will show. Especially after a difficult week, I don’t want to be too hard on myself for falling short at the end. We didn’t do our best overall, and that is the sustainability component!
