Today, work wasn't going to happen. I was up throughout the night
and not too long after six o'clock this morning I threw up again.
Not the best way to start a day. I ended up spending the majority of
my day laying on my heating pad on my bed. I watched YouTube videos,
took a bunch of naps, and started reading a new book because I only
have four or five others going at the moment.
Around eleven o'clock I was starving and ended up slowly eating a
bunch of toast. At 11:30AM, with the toast safely in my stomach, I
took another pain pill. On the instructions it said that taking it
with food might help with the nausea and I was hoping the toast was
enough. Another tip was to lay down for an hour or two after taking
the pill, trying to not move your head. So I laid back perfectly
still and and closed my eyes for the next two hours. I did move on
occasion and it was enough to feel a bit of the nausea to return so I
would quickly return to playing dead.
Around 5:45PM I felt game enough to have a pudding cup and a jello
cup. Butterscotch pudding and strawberry jello have never tasted so
good. A couple hours later I was feeling pretty good and thought I
might be up to finally eating the second half of my Chipotle burrito
from last week. Then my mom told me to think about it coming back
up. That instantly made me lose my appetite for a burrito. Instead
I went with a banana, more pudding and jello, a cheese stick,
crackers, and living on the edge, a few buffalo cheddar chips.
I spent the rest of the night watching a few shows I had DVRed. At
the moment, I am still feeling pretty good. I am still a bit achy
but I haven't had any significant pain for several hours. Fingers
crossed that holds for awhile. I was hoping to have an appointment
with a urologist today but I wasn't able to get in until tomorrow
morning. Which means I'll be missing more work. And that sucks
because there is still a lot to do before state assessments start.
But maybe my kidney will hold out and I will be able to get in
another day of work before Spring Break.
