CHAPTER ELEVEN

STELLA

There are a lot of shitty things about lupus, but, for me, the worst are the low grade fevers right at the beginning of what I’ve come to know are flares. I’m working from the hotel bed today, cocooned by the plush comforter and extra blankets I had housekeeping deliver. I emailed my assistant, Amanda, back in Chicago to let her know I was sick and texted Ash. I’m glad to know I can count on them to handle anything urgent while I rest.

I manage to work for an hour before I can’t keep my eyes open anymore. It’s only ten in the morning and the fatigue is already setting in. My temples pound as I lay back in bed, grimacing at the pain in what feels like every joint of my body. I don’t know how I went from a woman running marathons and doing pilates four times a week to feeling like even getting out of bed is a chore.

Tears roll down my cheeks as the gravity of my situation sinks in. For the first time I’m completely alone, in another city, in a hotel room with nothing to distract me from my thoughts. I’m so mad and confused about why this is happening. I could call Ian, but he would probably overreact and either call our parents or fly out here to take care of me. I don’t want that.

This is my problem to deal with. I can’t hand it off to anyone else to shoulder for me. Maybe I just need to cry it out and then sleep it off. Hopefully this flare will be short lived now that I have all my medication.

When I wake up I’ll handle this shit like I handle everything else, alone and with focus.
