Illness

Illness

getting sick when you have no air conditioned bedroom to go lay down in sucks lead darts. I have a touch of food poisoning , disentary , gas and bloating with a headache .I'm  dehydrating due to loss of body fluids ( running for a bathroom  ) which isn't readily available. I'm cooking in this  heat and feel as though I'm going  to throw up. I'm dizzy. I have to raid my  $40 apartment fund and it's killing me to do it ,  but I need some amodium and aspirin , also a couple of jugs of Gatoraid . I'm getting hot and cold flashes and a little bit of shaking in my hands. I eat what I can and there is no way of knowing if it was prepared sanitarily or had bacteria on it. I need the medicine because I have to be at the newspaper at 12:00am . I can't afford to miss sick or not. Yes I wash my hands more than most humans , almost all the time. Could have been from this very keyboard at the library , I don't know. something got me.

  1. Hang in there, man! I was so sick a coupla' times that I was getting seriously concerned I was actually going to die out there on the streets. A real problem is when you're too sick to think straight. I finally went to an emergency room. Can you do that?

  2. It sounds like you have it really rough and I think so many that have read your blog can identify with what you are going through. I believe others may wonder why. But I hope that whatever it is – all things will work together for the good and pull you out of that situation pronto. You are not alone in your struggle, women and men have no place to go. Just recently, I read some literature for a college course that condemned Modern Industry and such because it reduced the work of skilled labor and so on and replaced men with machines. Later the work went on to describe how the need to expand and settle everywhere created a place where men are present-day left on the streets struggling. I don’t think that everything is spiritual but consequences of our actions so when I look around me I and see so much unemployment and poverty, it doesn’t seem to be a punishment but a consequence and many are burdened because of it. Whatever the case may be, remember that if no one else reaches out to hug or shake your hand, you gotta keep going because there is something special about fighting and never giving up. Suicide is never an option and you may have not considered it but keep fighting for your place in the sun- don’t let the world rip that away from you. : )
