Doncy

Doncy: an "I Love Lucy" coined term meaning not really sick, but just feeling lousy.

Today I realized how truly beat up I have felt. For 6 months I have not felt myself, easy explanation, I was pregnant. Post pregnancy I felt the same. I didn't want to exercise, which is incredibly out of character, I am a freak who enjoys exercising, and I would find myself playing Sudoku rather than playing with my kids. I just felt doncy.

Last week I woke up at 3am with pain so severe I thought I needed to go to the hospital. I drank some water, did some breathing and went back to bed. I went to the doctor and was told that something was wrong. After ultrasounds and xrays I was told that I have a kidney stone, a "big one."

Monday I had a procedure to blast the stone with a shock wave. I felt beat up and drugged after but find myself recovering well.

Today, I almost feel like myself again. I am used to feeling highly capable and highly energetic. I am hoping that the stone was the root of the problem and that I am on way to feeling like my old self again.  Feeling doncy just plain sucks.

Yes, hubby you can take a pic of without any makeup on...

(Of course, when Lucy felt doncy she was pregnant, I a sure you, that is NOT the case here!)
