Not for the squeamish...

I know I never update anymore. I keep meaning to, but then I think of the energy it would take to sit at the computer, think of something to write about, type.... *sigh* It's just really not worth it.

Right now I happen to already be sitting at the computer and I'm ok with typing at the moment, but not so much thinking. So this is not going to be exciting.

I can't really do anything else besides go back to bed since I feel so awful right now. I'm in the process of trying to get down a piece of bread with peanut butter on it. My cinnamon toast this morning refused to stay down and it tasted so bad coming back up that I had to switch to something else. I have bread every morning. They say you're supposed to have complex carbs, which are in whole grain breads, so that's what I do. Every morning. Although the thought of eating more bread makes me want to punch someone in the face.

But then again there is nothing else that sounds even slightly appealing to me. I can't do cereal because milk makes me sick, I can't do yogurt because it's a milk product and after vomiting up bright pink yesterday I think I will be avoiding it for a while. I can't do anything sweet (muffins, pancakes, french toast, etc.) because, well, gross!

So I eat bread. At least I'm getting my recommended daily serving of whole grains.

Then there's the thirst problem. I'm soooo thirsty! I'm probably dehydrated, that's unfortunate. I keep water with me wherever I go and try to sip on it constantly, but, like most everything else, water makes me want to puke. And of course, if I puke it all up then I just have to start all over again. So although I want to chug, chug, chug, and chug some more water to quench my thirst, I cannot because I will just hurl it all back up again. Oh the joy.

Well I think that's enough whining for today, I am going to give in and go back to bed for a while. Praying this will end soon...

  1. Oh Courtney I feel so bad for you!!! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help! Someone suggested ginger to me when I was sick - I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but maybe ginger ale would help with your thirst and sit okay? Hope you feel better soon!

  2. Oh, sad. So I guess the meds aren't helping out so much?? Hope you feel better soon!
