Leroy is a master of mysterious
illnesses and recovery. Yesterday, after lunch, he declared, “I have a
headache.”
I gave my favorite response, “Have you
been drinking enough? Drink some water.”
He dutifully drank some water, but it
did not seem to help so he took a nap. After the nap he claimed to feel quite
sluggish and despondent. However he gamely set off with me to deliver
neighborhood newsletters. It was not an entire block covered before he said, “My
head still hurts and I feel so tired, I cannot walk so far,” as he turned
around and went home.
He spent the afternoon on the couch sprawled
out while he read a book. That great sleeper Leroy also took another nap. At supper
time he was not sure that he should eat since his stomach was quite unsettled.
At 8:00 in the evening he seemed to
feel better as he even sat up. He exhibited some energy and mobility as he
moved around the house with a spring in his step. Tired seemed to be Leroy
friend, but the headache was gone along with the upset stomach. In fact he was
wondering what he could eat.
This morning he was mostly in a normal
state, however he drove the car as rain was predicted and he was concerned about
how he would feel after a bike ride.
Is this a short lived disease or what?
