Ariane is feeling sickly today. She did, however, get up and go to work on time as usual. She called at about 10:30 to tell me that she's coming home to lay in bed. Luckily I am working from home today so I can be with her!
When she woke up this morning, she said that her stomach had hurt her all night long. Her stomach has been basically hurting nonstop for the last month or so -- I have no idea how she deals with it. I would be a wreck if something on me hurt for that long! Maybe she's just used to it or something? However she does it, it still sucks. She's laying in bed now watching TV and drinking some tea -- probably much better than whatever crap they had her doing at work.
Poor Ariane. I wish there was a way that I could use my powers to just suck the pain and the disease right out of her and throw it in the trash. Why don't I have that power yet? It's seriously about time.
I sometimes feel like she might die an early, painful death -- and I obviously don't want that to happen. It is just a very scary thing to know that she has holes on the inside of her stomach and intestine and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. She is in pain every day and probably will be for the rest of her life, and there's nothing you can do about it. Oh, I guess she could get on some steroids. But I'm thinking that steroids aren't the greatest thing to be on -- and then that belief is confirmed as soon as you look at the side effects! Holy crap!
Poor Ariane ... hopefully Kitten is in there with her ...
