Yesterday we decided to stay put one more day. We really didn’t get to see the area as we were too busy with work stuff. This morning I’m super glad we’re staying put.
Last night I hit the pillows around 10. By midnight I was up, feeling really wrong. I haven’t felt this way since I was out at the Great Sand Dunes. Sound asleep, and then sitting up like a shot. I think it was some heavy reflux. I knew I was feeling bad too because I was so hot again. Ick.
Frankly, I’m not certain how the EE & EG hit other folks, but I know how it hits me. I’ve read through the Yahoo Groups on it, and the list of effects is long, strange, and not fun. But my symptoms are always the same. Last night my throat was super tight, and the feeling of someone pushing on my chest wouldn’t stop.
What do you do in that case? Well, I’m a few thousand miles from family now. Rich and Eleanor are right next door though. It’s when I feel that rotten that I feel the most alone. Even if someone sits with me while I ride out the physical feelings, there’s not much they can do (although their presence is a comfort).
So, I got up at midnight, and put on some cartoons. Wide awake for hours, but so exhausted. Every time I tried to lie back the reflux feeling would come on full. Oh, and when this happens the cell phone is RIGHT next to me.
Why did this happen? I’m not sure. I tried one new food yesterday. Plantains with another fruit sauce. That was the only change. There is a good bit of pollen here, and it’s a little more humid now. Is that enough to set me off? Not sure, all I know is that something set me off good. Kind of makes me not want to try any new food at all, and hide next to the Hepa. But I’m not going to do that…. 
Not a fun blog post for sure. Think I’m going to lie back for the morning, and be restful. Maybe I can get some more sleep. Here’s hoping I feel a little more rested. I’d like to look around the area some more.
