Today I had practice session with Richard, my hitting partner. He's a really swell guy and fun to be with and always so encouraging and positive. We played on court 13 from 9.30 till 10.30am and then I left as Richard had a men's doubles play on court 11.
As I left CSF, my stomach felt a little queasy but I brushed it off. As I started on my journey home, the pain became so intense, I broke out in cold sweat and at one point, wanted to take the next exit and go back to CSF for its restroom. But I told myself I can do this and hung in there. I started to pray that the Lord will let me reach home first. And the pain was more tolerable but the uneasiness never left. I finally reached home and rushed into the bathroom and did my stuff (gross!).
Then I went to take my bath and washed my hair and then, the pain came back. This time, I recognized the pain. It was none other than my gastritis. But I wasn't surprised coz the last few days, I have been feeling hunger pangs after my tennis sessions even though I did eat breakfast. But I guess all the exercise I had on court burnt up all whatever breakfasts I had eaten that morning. And I thought the pain today was due to food poisoning coz I had a slice of lemon meringue pie from last week and some soy milk. I thot maybe those 2 items don't mix. But it turned out to be gastric pains and occasionally, it felt like the stomach is doing a wrench on me. I cooked chicken stew with potatoes and fried anchovies with peanuts. After eating my lunch, was all prepared to take Sam out for her bowling practice but my body said otherwise coz it started to ache all over and I felt weak at the knees. So, today, Sam skipped practice. Sorry about that but somehow, I gotta start listening to my body b4 it totally breaks down on me. Fetched Sam from school at 3.15pm and then came home and sleep from 4-6pm. Now I wonder if I can sleep some more tonight, hahaha! We'll see.... but after that snooze, body is aching less altho stomach is still making gastric noises every now and then. Will take more medication after dinner tonight. Hope I will get well soon tomorrow....
