Absolute Schizzo
June 1, 2004
Came home from my last night at youth group, had a great time with the kids…and…then it happened. Out of nowhere, I ended up spending 45 minutes on the crapper, absolutely horrific diarrhea, that kind where it don’t stop, and I was hot, then sweaty, then clammy, then getting the chills and almost passing out. Almost passed out getting from the bathroom to my bedroom. My friend Jean came over and brought me some medicine, helped me with a little going-away present for my host family and played “mom” - which was awesome of her. Anyway, it’s Tuesday morning, and I was supposed to drive home today and I still feel like absolute schizzo (for those of you who don’t know, another word for schizzo would be SHIT!). This has to wear off by tomorrow morning, so I can drive home and get to the airport in time on Thursday am to catch my flight to Austin. Please pray for me…

Once, when I was a pastor, three churches went together for a weekend youth retreat. Everyone but one person got foot poisoning. It was some retreat. Only one person survived to be an “angel of mercy” after the mess. It was at Camp Bear Bryant in Alabama and I remember the last night after we had survived a little, we played cards and watched Richard Nixon resign.
You sure the kids “ain’t making you sick?” Ha.

Dude! My night exactly. All night long turning solids to liquids. Nasty crap, this one. Come to think of it, I read your blog yesterday…maybe I got it from you;)

adam,
i hope things get better err more solid for you. that’ll ruin any day, but as they say, this too shall pass…
immodium is a household must, keep the box for your roadtrip for back truckstop food!

maybe God is trying to tell you you need a wife to take care of you.
(kidding!)
but hey - i had those same rainbow sheets back in 1983. they went so well with my “rainbow and unicorn” theme. i was so cool.

I was wondering how long it was going to take before someone mentioned the rainbox pillow case…I love it. The rest of the sheets are at home, but I’ve always loved them…people do like to make fun of them, though…

Hmmmm… that looks alot like the rectal thermometer we use on our kids. I haven’t been able to find it.

that definitely sucks. I hope you feel better!
and, in other news: YOU HAVE MY SHEETS. I totally have two sets of that rainbow print stuff. I’ve never seen anyone else who owned those! Priceless :-)

Adam: I’m happy to report I’ve never owned sheets like that. I have had the scoots, though. That sucks.

I think it was the potluck. I had sheets like that too, but they were in “earth tones.” Prayin’ for you.

Hmmmm…. That’s what I do when I’m sick. I say “hey, will you take my picture so that I can blog about it!” Of course, I don’t look nearly as cute as you did. Sorry, you were sick and glad the immodium worked. Pepto Bismal rules our house!
