Tonight,I am still not feeling any better,but tomorrow,I have another appointment as a follow-up to blood tests and other tests from yesterday as a result of my bout with this terrible stomach virus.
Today,I woke up in the mid morning and had a couple cups of coffee.For much of the morning,I sat down and took it easy and actually neglected to take a shower today.I wasn't feeling so very good today and the only thing really important that I did for today was that I went to the local hospital to drop off another specimen for testing to see what could be wrong and why I can't seem to shake loose this stomach virus.Again,I have another appointment with my general doctor as a follow-up tomorrow.I am hoping that all goes well and that I can start getting relief soon.I am really tired of being sick with this stomach virus and it is really taking a toll on me emotionally.
Today,when I got home from the hospital,I took my Prilosec pill with a glass of fresh water and I laid down for a while.Over an hour later,I got up out of bed to vomit.The vomit was actually painful and it's a wonder that I didn't choke on it.I laid back down after that and later on,I had to vomit again and it was water that I drank and nothing else.After taking my psychiatric medication,I laid down again,but knew that I needed to go out again and get some much needed supplies.I needed to get ice melting stuff and I went to the local Super Wal-Mart to pick it up.All they had was rock salt and I bought a couple of bags alongside a couple of other things.After paying for those things,I headed straight home.
When I got home,I opened up a bag of rock salt and I spread it out all over the ice on the back porch and the walkway leading to the front porch.I also spread some on the sidewalk in front of the house.After that was done,I went back into the house and put my night clothes back on to prepare for my evening retirement.
I will start reporting regularly again on my struggles once I am at 100%.Until then,please keep me in your prayers and please leave me some words of encouragement in the comments section.Thanks very much.FJ
