I think I am having a run of bad luck. Last week I went to the doctors (PCP) and little did I know I would be told I had bronchitis, a sinus infection and an ear infection. I was so tired.. my entire week-end shot! I have so much to get done. I am having at least 16 people over for Thanksgiving!

Last night I went to a function for work and my food choices were either Chicken Picata or Pasta. There were 2 sides dishes, green beans and rice. So I chose the chicken, cut it up small, ate slowly and it still got stuck. I ended up coming home, spitting and foaming all the way home in a cup - I know gross! It continued for at least an hour and then I finally threw up 3 times - I mean violently threw up. I felt so much better, I feel asleep for an hour. When I woke up, I felt like something cold and all that was in the freezer was a sugar free popcicle. I took 2 tastes and had to run into the bathrrom again. I could not believe I was throwing up popcicle! I was hurting so bad, it was just awful. I called the doctor and first he wanted me to come in right away and unfill my band. Well I couldn't get out of the bathroom long enough to get in the car. I finally threw up violently again and felt much better. I called back and he told me if I felt that I could wait until morning, come into St. V's hospital emergency room and one of the docs (2 were in surgery in the morning), would come out and unfill me.

So I made it through the night and went in to Bridgeport in the morning. I saw Elaine who I just love, and she flushed everything out (never heard of this before but she said it opened up my stomach so whatever was left and stuck would go through), and made me drink water. I had tried water before I went to Bridgeport and I kept burping it up. Well it went down, didn't hurt and actually stayed down! So Elaine told me to go buy a yogurt and eat it and make sure it stayed down okay before i went home. She even gave me her pager number in case I needed her again - such a sweetie! Well the yogurt stayed down and I went home after a while.

I still hurt from heaving so hard last night and just really tired. Of course I had to come home and work, couldn't just rest. Some days I wish I was independently wealthy! If I didn't have to work another day in my life, it wouldn't hurt my feelings!!

So I am off to bed early, work tomorrow and another work function from 5-8 after work. I think that is it socially for the week! I do have to go to the eye doctor on Friday and I know I have had another bleed in my right eye because I can see the blood. Guess I will deal with that on Friday. I am sure I will need some laser surgery again. I really dread that - that needle in the eye is a killer!

Thanks for reading if you do...till next time...
