5:20am

Oh yeah, I see a nap in the near future today.

Dozed off last night at 9:30pm woke back

up at 10:30pm to make sure kids had gone to bed.

2:00am awoke really thirsty and chugged a bunch of water.

4:00am woke up again really thirsty and drank some more water.

5:07am belly cramps woke me up so ran to the potty.  

After that I just decided to stay up because the alarm

was due to go off at 5:30am.

Another trip to the potty at 5:30am.

Just feel like my body is going in so many directions

between potty trips, throwing up, thirsty,

cold chills, hot flashes, tiredness, stomach and body throbbing

 and no energy at times.

The only thing missing is the severe stomach pain I had 

when that put me over the edge to finally go

to the hospital the first time.

I don't want to have to go back to the hospital.

Who can afford to keep going back there?

6:05am

Brrr again.  It's 17 degrees outside with about a 9 degree wind chill.

7:15am

My goodness I was having hot flashes this morning.

It's so cold outside and I only wore a sweater

and about had my head hanging out the window

of the truck at the bus stop.

But good news is that I started feeling hungry

so when I got back home I warmed up some pizza rolls

and are having a glass of apple juice.

I don't care what I eat or what time of day it is,

if I'm hungry I'm all for it especially 

when I don't have a very good appetite.

12:35pm

I laid down from about 8-10:30am.

Of course my stomach woke me up and 

I had to run to the potty.

Right now I'm trying to eat more pizza rolls.

Not as hungry and they don't taste as good as before 

but trying to get more food in me.

Went from being hot to now being chilly.

Time to grab a sweater.

I had some leftover pork roast in a crock

in the fridge I thought I would use for supper.

I peered into the crock and there's one little ole

itty bitty piece of pork in there!

ughhhh.   Well so much for that idea even

after I told everyone I wanted to use the leftovers

for another meal.  Looks like a freezer meal

will be used for supper tonight.

I don't really feel like cooking or baking

and are trying to limit any trips to the grocery store

trying to cut back because bills are gonna be due soon.

2:55pm

Mom has called my digestive doctor's office

and they are going to call her back.

We're trying to find out what I should do

with feeling the way that I do.

This morning I noticed my lips were getting really dry

and this afternoon I noticed my eyes burning

which worries me that I may be dehydrated.

I've drank a half glass of pop, gatorade, apple juice

and working on my 2nd or 3rd glass of water.

Why, when I was in the hospital for as long as I was,

being pumped full of anything and everything,

am I not even feeling the least bit better?!

I did gain my weight back soon after getting out

of the hospital because prednisone can make

you feel hungry.  But now I am back down 10 pounds again.

3:40pm

Doctor's office called me and said there was no other

appointments available unless there is a cancellation.

The secretary said my doctor suggested I got

to the emergency room to get fluids due to possible

dehydration.  I'm trying to avoid more costs of

going to an emergency room.  Mom is calling some pharmacies

to see what else is out there that I can drink.

maybe something like Pedialyte.

I don't know, we'll have to see.

I really don't want to go to the ER!!!

3:55pm

Mom's going to Kroger to get me some Gatorade.

The pharmacy actually recommended the 

pedialyte because it has low sugar and has electrolites.

Well I know Gatorade has electrolites

and a lower sugar also because I get it for

hubby sometimes and he's a diabetic.

8:00pm

Drinking Gatorade and Pediolyte, well as much as

I can tolerate, not exactly a favorite of mine.

How does pedialyte not have sugar in it

according to a pharmacist.

It tastes soo much sweater than gatorade.

I have dried out lips, dried out eyes and hardly any tears.

Been feeding my eyes eye drops.
