Still alive...although this week that has been debateable
Yes guys, I am actually still alive. Although like I put in the subject line, that little fact was really up in the air tuesday. Actually I should say in the toilet.. because thats where I had my head in most of the day. Woke up feeling icky but not horrible. My stomach hurt, but sometimes that will happen if I really need to eat. Ate a carmel roll (bad idea on more than one level-- but i digress) and lay down to digest a bit before I got on the treadmill. walked a mile and half ...by the time I got done I was feeling more crappy but brushed it off... then a bout a half an hour later, my stomach decided that it was going to revolt ....and convinced my colon that it needed to do the same thing. After that things REALLY went downhill, I proceeded to throw up about every hour or more in addition to the other end of my intestinal tract pitching an unholy fit. I couldnt keep anything, even water down for more than about a half an hour. MAX. Finally around 9pm (about 10 hours of misery and because my hands were starting to tingle -- from probably a low potassium level) I made my mom haul my sorry carcass to the emergency room about 35 miles away. My blood pressure was still in the normal range, but my heart rate was crazy high for me and crazy high for most people. Laying down it was in the low 100s (normalish) , sitting it was in the 130's (thats where it normally is when I excercise), and when I stood up it shot up to 150. It took 2 liters of fluid and 2 doses of zofran to get my heart rate back into normal ranges and my nausea under control. Got home from the ED about 1:30 am or so and called work to bow out for my shift that night. Spent most of yesterday learning how to drink water and eat jello. Jello never tasted so good. Although I am kind of sick of gatorade (to replenish my electrolytes). My colon was still pissed at me yesterday (like dont cough wrong pissed), but we seem to be at a truce today (needless to say I still dont think its safe to work tonight). I think I also really messed up my neck praying to ye ole porcelin god. So emergency chiropractor appointment in an hour.
On a more positive and less disgusting note, We started a biggest loser competition at work monday ( and No this was not how I intended to go about losing weight). The winner for biggest percentage weight lost will win the pot of money we all put up. Sooo what I need from you all is so kick ass tunes to work out/walk too. I have a tendency to get bored really easy so I need to add some variety to what I already have on my Ipod. Sooo please if you have suggestions or even the songs themselves, send them my way. Plus, Im planning to go to Hawaii in march and I'd kinda like to be a little more bikinii or swimsuit acceptable by that time. Thanks.
