12w2d

Today started out on a pretty crappy note. The first thing I did when I woke up after a fitful night of sleep was try to eat a saltine. During the night I had been up off and on with my headache getting worse. I did manage to keep about 4 ounces of water down, which isn't much, but was better than nothing.

Of course the saltine started out the par for my morning. It, along with any water I had recently drank, came right back up. It was at this point that I decided I could be in trouble. If I couldn't even keep down saltines how was I supposed to keep from getting dehydrated? As soon as 8:00 rolled around I called the doctor's office to ask for advice.

It took them about an hour to finally call me back and they told me they were calling in a prescription for me. Of course since I couldn't keep anything down they could not give me an oral medicine. However, at that point I would have done ANYTHING necessary to be able to eat and drink again.

I ventured out to the pharmacy about a half an hour later and by that point I was in pretty bad shape. I had not been able to eat or drink anything in over 12 hours and I was weak, tired and feeling pretty awful. I took them about 15 minutes to get my prescription ready and then I headed home.

The doctor had told me to drink Propel fitness water but I couldn't find it at the grocery store and was took tired to look very hard. I remembered that Jake had some gatorade at home and figured that would do the same thing. At 11:00 I took my first dose of the medicine and by 1:00 was amazed at how much better I was feeling. I FINALLY got to eat something and drank 2 or 3 glasses of gatorade.

The medicine, however, has one bad side effect. It makes your really tired. I feel asleep at 3:00 and didn't wake until 6:30. By 7:15 I was starting to feel pretty crummy again so I took a second dose of the medicine. I then ate a little and was passed back out by 9:00.
