Saturday

This turned into a BAD week. I got sick Wednesday evening-GI problems, tons of nausea/vomiting that went on for hours & hours. I was so weak by Thursday morning, I could only get up to the bathroom & then back to bed. I ended up in bed for 36 hours, weak, dehydrated and in pain from all of the vomiting. Of course, I couldn't keep anything down to take anything for pain. Karen C., you were a lifesaver to come over and draw my blood. I never would have made it to the lab. Friday, I went in to UPMC and had 4 hours of intravenous fluids, anti-nausea drugs and steroids. Anyway, I am out of bed now and trying to eat so I can take my potassium & magnesium. As always, I keep telling myself this won't last forever! (Sometimes it seems like that.) Carole T., if you didn't see my other blog, I wanted to thank you for the gift card. I have such wonderful friends-I'm very lucky. Linda
