It was a night to end all nights! I just wish it would have ended itself...
Reporting on weight loss and trying to eat healthy is not going well when I have been unwell for the past four days. An over tired me picked up some wayward flu bug and have been suffering since. This is not how to go about watching what you eat! I've done the tea with honey, plain crackers, rice and vegetables with salmon (one great supper amongst the pittance), cereal with yogurt (so I can take my back pills) - nothing is sticking around long enough for me to be concerned about it.
A friend recommended Imodium to give "rapid relief of diarrhea" and it seemed it would work and that would be a welcome reprieve from the close relationship I was developing with the throne. Have chicken soup, too. Okay, so me being brilliant in my illness-induced stupor had a bowl of simulated chicken flavored noodles (you know, add water and ta-da!) ... progressively worse by bed time and I didn't sleep at all with pains in so many places I almost woke Kelsey to take me to emergency. It felt like all the noodles decided to stick together and plan an attack on my innards as one big lump. I felt it as they passed through every organ - but not before they just sat there causing me immense grief for a few uncomfortable, sleepless hours. I lost count how many times I was up and this morning when the diarrhea returned, I was relieved. HOW sad is that?
So back to square one - wondering what to eat that won't eat me back...
I am trying to drink too but blah... water on an empty stomach is really yucky.
p.s. only good news is that my legs and feet are not swollen - I'm thinking that all the garbage built up in me must have escaped :) also, my doctor's appointment went well enough for a meet and greet; now booked for tests and physical in 3 weeks. At least that's something.
