Re: Forty-Day Water Fast

Namasté Chrisb1,

I cannot thank you enough for always responding so promptly. My gratitude is ineffable. I know what you are saying is correct, although I cannot explain why. I am staying calm and trying not to worry. I certainly do not let my family see my concern. My journey has been a little harder because of their reactions and concerns. I am not complaining it is certainly a blessing to be loved, but when you are in this type of state and around those less familiar with the process, it adds undue stress to an already difficult situation, well... you understand.

Today has been hard, I have been under a lot of stress because of things in my household. I cannot get up to address them and this adds even more stress. My rest has been broken over and over again. Of course, my response has been an accelerated HR, followed by vomiting.

I will never try and do this fast at home again with an adolescent in my home. There are far too many variables and it is just not conducive in most cases, unless you have an exceptionally caring child, which is not my case. My two oldest, who now live on their own, were not like this. I am prayerfully awaiting the end of this particular journey.

BTW: the vomit was mostly clear with a slight hint of yellow and pea green fluid/mucous, but very faint.

Current HR is 94 and BP is 106/75. Tweet
