. . . all day long!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been sick like this. And I’m not even sure what it is. Last night my stomach felt a bit queasy just before bed and then today from about 6am – 4pm I had the most incredible lower abdominal cramps and serious ‘dire rear’. It finally eased up around 5 o’clock and for the past couple of hours I’ve been gently wandering around the flat. Too much time in bed tends to made my lower back seize up and I definitely don’t need a bout of sciatica along with aching hand in sling and painful abdomen.
Anyhow, it’s been just an awful day. I can’t remember ever experiencing pain like that before – or at least not for so long. It’s rather ironic that I’d get so sick shortly after starting on a healthier lifestyle thang, but can’t be food related because Nog & I ate the same stuff yesterday and he’s fine.
I’m starting to feel a bit hungry now – it’s almost 8pm and all I’ve had today is water. But I’m kind of afraid to try anything solid at this point. Maybe some chicken soup?
Ah well, tomorrow’s another day . . .

Well I suppose it might have been the chili flakes I put on my pasta the night before, but since I always do that it seems unlikely. Still feeling a bit ‘fragile’ as the cramping came back last night after the soup, but I’m going to try going to my first class this morning and see how I feel.
Also, I have to go the hospital and get the pin taken out of my finger this afternoon (eep!). Plenty of doctors there if I’m still feeling bad.
On the bright side, I’ve lost two kilos, so that takes care of this month’s weight loss goal. 🙂

Turns out that two of Nog’s students in his hospital group were away today with stomach problems. And my doctor friend Agustín told me he’s seen a lot of gastrointeritis the past couple of weeks.
So it could be that something is going around and my system was weakened by the anti-inflammatories I was taking (turned out I took them a week longer than I was supposed to – oops).
