A long night

  • Sep. 3rd, 2008 at 2:07 PM

Sunday evening I started feeling extremely crappy. I could tell it was more than just general not feeling well..there was something wrong.
It just progressed over the next couple days & got way worse. The official diagnosis is gastrointeritis. I have no idea whre it came from but I gotta tell ya...whoever passed this to me is not my favorite person right now.
Basically I haven't eaten anyting since Sunday afternoon. Nothing substantial anyhow...and haven't even been able to keep water or gatorade down.
So we got to spend 7 lovely hours at the hospital last night lying in the most uncomfortable bed EVER while poor Cory snoozed in a chair made for someone about 3 feet shorter than him. I got pumped full of 2 bags of fluid. They also discovered that my blood pressure was high & there was protein in my urine-which was the color of soda-so they ran some lab tests after taking 4 very full viles of blood from a vein in my hand. Basically my potassium was low from me being so sick, so hopefully that's the culprit of the whole protein in the urine thing because the last thing I want is to ever step foot in a hospital again & if this continues...no homebirth for me.
I'm feeling a little better today. It's amaznig what hydration will do for you. I pretty much laid in bed all day yesterday wishing for death. 
If you need me I'll be recovering..eating jello & popsicles while wishing I could have some steak or a huge salad. I'm seriously craving food right now like no other. We always want what we can't have.
More prayers appreciated. I need to be cured pronto.
