Note: After the morphine kicked in! Not how I planned to end my night… with a trip to the ER.
What started as a wonderful day taking care of the puppers and having a great Zoom meeting quickly took a turn. I started experiencing severe pain and was also 🤮 quite a bit.
Before we left, Paul and I made sure all of our furry guests were settled into their cozy spots since we had no idea how long we would be gone. After a trip to the ER, I learned I was passing a kidney stone and also had an infection. They treated me until 1:30 a.m.
The lesson? Listen to your body.
What I thought was lower back pain from caring for the dogs and sleeping on the sofa with them was actually the start of a much bigger problem.
Thank you to my clients for being so understanding when I had to cancel daycare and scheduled visits this weekend. Self-care is important because if you don’t take care of yourself, you’re not much help to anyone else.
