 Bleh. Yesterday was scary. I couldn't stand up long enough to make myself food without getting dizzy and nearly blacking out and/or throwing up, so I didn't actually eat anything until like 5pm. And because the only food I had in the fridge was leftover take-out, I had to contend with veggie fried rice. Guess it doesn't help to live above a grocery store when you can't stand up for more than a couple minutes at a time.
Today, while a HUGE improvement over yesterday, I'm still feeling vaguely nauseous and sleepy, despite only being awake for a sum total of about 6 hours yesterday. I called in sick again at work, saying I'd try to be in at noon. However, just as I was getting dressed, I was suddenly hit with another bout of TMI, so that didn't happen. I should be fine by tomorrow, but urgh. Unpleasant. Fortunately, Jayna (a girl my roomie and I knew from Hockaday) is staying with us for the weekend, and she made toast for me. I feel much less miserable just having someone around. Labels: my body hates me Priscilla said at 3:25 PM Comments:
That sucks. I hope you feel a lot better soon. Sometimes, when you're so sick that you can't even keep water down, you might try popsicles. For some reason, they're usually okay, and at least that way you're getting some fluids. Sucking on ice can sometimes work as well. After that, I recommend clear pop like Sprite, then water, then soup, applesauce, toast, crackers, and things like that. Just go slowly. And if you don't have stuff like that around the house, call people and ask sweetly and pathetic-sounding-ly if they could get some for you. It's too late to help you much now, but I hope it might be of some use in the future if, heaven forfend, you do get that sick again.
