The title of this post should have been vomit-ville, but I that’s a little gross. I have no idea what happened today…I was at work, going about my business, saving lives, you know the deal, when suddenly I started feeling pretty yuck. Fortunately, it was already after 6 pm so I knew I only had to make it ‘til 7 and then I could figure out how to remedy my tummy sitch.
I didn’t eat anything weird for lunch, in fact, it was pretty much the same as yesterday.
Sammie (in re-re-re-recycled tin foil) with honey mustard, cranz, lechuga, and some smart deli “turkey.”
Plus the rest of the typical cast of characters (ie apricot cliffy, apple, wasabi peas, and a bag of carob raisins/figs/dates).
It’s hard to even type this post and look at those pictures, since I saw the entire meal in reverse about an hour after I got home. I knew something was up on the way home and was just praying I made it home before anything too disastrous happened (subway ride + no control over bodily fluids = no bueno). I felt SOOOO horrible. I don’t know what the eff caused this. I ate so normal, and out of the blue I felt like I was going to puke, and sure enough…
At least I felt a little better after, but that didn’t last long. I fell asleep on the couch and dozed in and out of consciousness for a few hours before trying to have some water. UGH.
Since I was STARVING, I tried the most benign thing I could find in the apartment, bread. I dipped it in hummus and slowly tried to get some kcals down…which backfired about 15 mins later. I was shaking I was so dehydrated and weak. My body started aching everywhere, and I couldn’t find any position that was comfortable, fetal position included.
I managed to make my way to bed (THANK god I don’t have work tomorrow) and had the single worst night of my life. That may seem like a bold claim, but I woke up about 10 different times in a delirious stupor. I’m pretty sure this is what the textbooks refer to as death.
No worries guys, I’m a trooper, I’ll make it…
