so out of it
i have been so out of it for days now!
i had a great time visiting with karen this weekend. i hadn't seen her kids in so long - i can't believe they're almost 4 and 6!!! we played with them on saturday, took the girls to a tea party on sunday morning, and then played some more in the afternoon before i had to head back to DC. and saturday night kar and i met a couple of other UD related friends at an irish bar with live music. that was fun too.
at some point on sunday though, i started feeling kinda crappy. my stomach just turned on me and suddenly the thought of food made me wretch and i couldn't imagine ever wanting to eat again. i managed to barrell through my drive home in just under 4 hours (should have been 4.5) and made it to within i'd say 30 miles of my house before i had to pull over and puke. blegh.
so i went to bed around 8:30 sunday night with a low fever and just one other vomitting incident. (just couldn't keep the tylenol down.) i woke up monday feeling a bit better, but stayed home from work to be safe. around lunch time i ate a handful of cereal and later had a few crackers. i was just so nauseous that i couldn't eat. managed a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner. anyway... i'm sure those are more details than you ever wanted!
suffice it to say, i've been nauseous, dehydrated, and unable to eat much in 4 days now. left work early yesterday and today. i was so tired this afternoon (and i did eat a little chicken and rice at lunch time) that i laid down at 4:00 and took a 2 hour nap! crazy. i have an appt with my primary care doc tomorrow to see if there's something going on she can do something about. until then, the tums seems to be helping a bit and i'll just keep forcing myself to eat small bits here and there. can't wait to feel clear-headed again!
