Hello!
Yesterday, I finished treatment, and went to pick up my sweet Raegan. I have so many fluids going into me....I am making frequent trips to the restroom these days. So, before I went into Raegan's class, I stopped at the restroom next to her class. All of the sudden I heard a loud noise and the building began to shake. Then, I heard someone say, "Fire in the Hole!" I was panicked, and I was stuck...no chance of going anywhere for a few minutes. I thought, "who in the world is playing with explosives at a childcare center!" I thought, "is this a bomb....a joke....a dream!" I made record time finishing my task in the bathroom and ran into Raegan's classroom. All of the children where hunched down on their knees with their heads tucked into their tummies under tables! I know the blood drained out of my face, and I yelled, "What is going on?" "Who shouted, 'Fire in the Hole.' " The teachers seemed so calm. I couldn't understand. They quickly explained to me that what I had just experienced was an earthquake, and what I heard was "rabbit in the hole." This is their "phrase" to alert the children and staff to start their earthquake drill. The children tuck their heads and arms under their bodies and pretend to be rabbits under tables! The children where calm, and they where fine being rabbits! I, on the other hand, was ready to hop out of their as quickly as my feet would carry me! I was told their have been 30 earthquakes in this area just this week. Thankfully, I have only felt one of them! My first earthquake and hopefully, my last. In my mind, this is a good reason to live on the east coast! Home sweet home!
I tried a homeopathic sleeping aid last night, and it didn't touch me! Sleep was not to be had. I am looking forward to a good night sleep tonight with my precious Lunesta. Even though I am sleep deprived, I feel better today than I did before I started treatment! Also, the muscle pain is still minimal, and I am not experiencing the cardiac symptoms as frequently. My heart rate seldom races, and I don't feel as dizzy.
Today, my IV is a detox treatment. The other treatments this week have been infusions to kill the lyme and viruses in my body. The goal is to help my body get rid of the toxins let from my other treatments.
My mom arrives tomorrow, and Raegan and I are very excited to see her. Raegan has been counting the days until she gets to see her Grammy.
I am very homesick and counting the days until I can be home with my whole family and friends!
Have a great weekend!

Ah, I, on the other, miss the excitement and adrenaline of a good earthquake! Home being CA for 36 years, they became as regular to me as the thunder storms here in VA :) Of course, the big ones are scary! I remember my kids sleeping through not only the earthquake, but the "momquake" when I would snatch them off their beds and lay them down in a safe place away from windows. They would sleep through the whole thing!
Ronda, that really made me laugh out loud!! I'm glad to hear you survived your first earthquake! Hope you're feeling better..miss you.
This is definetly one of those "look back and laugh" stories! Won't it be fun to read your blog years from now?! I'm glad you and Reagan made it out of the Rabbit Hole :) -Susan
