elvendollnausea has been a constant foe for a week now. i cannot deal with being nauseous anymore. its driving me batty.
i keep drinking giner ale (with pedialyte), teas and water... and am lucky to have 10 mins without that horrible feeling.
to top it off, i can barely eat. in theory, i want to eat. but when food gets close to me, nausea kicks in full swing, i feel like i am about to yuke, and can't get anything down my throat. not fun.
on tobi's advice, i went ot he emrgency room - she said they should be able to hook me up to an IV & get some nutriens into my sytem. desperate times call for desperate measures, so max drove bill & i to the cambridge hospital. they wouldn't do it. after poking me around for a bit, they just told me i have a bad case of the flu & to keep drinking liquids. *gets ready to hit head against wall*
and yeah, i have a rather bad cough & sinus stuff & postnasal drip, but you know... none of those are as bad as the nausea.... take away the nausea and i would be thankful with those. *sigh*
i don't know what to do about work tomorrow... i can't imagine going in, but calling out is an option i hate taking. *raaaar*
as far as life outside the flu & the nausea.. well, its blurry from here.
i tried to hold up as best as i could last night, and am actually pretty proud of myself for how & how long i managed it for. overall, i wish i could have had fun. i really did at the time, and i do now. under the circumstances, though, i was content to gleam satisfaction from seeing the fun of others, which was also good. and so far it does seem like most people had fun, which is really good : )
blah.
i just want to feel normal (well, for me, anyways) again!!!!
why does that seem to be too much to ask?!
