Feeling better
Filed under Uncategorized
At last I am feeling better! I’ve been throwing up since Sunday night. When I finally stopped puking yesterday, diarrhea took over. The only food I could take in were oatmeal, bread, and soups, and I’d throw these up again. It was terrible. I think I lost several pounds in 3 days.
One of my housemates said maybe I got a case of food poison. I can’t remember eating anything spoiled or close to it, though (unless I was poisoned intentionally? But bah, I am not that paranoid.) An officemate said I must have offended a spirit in the mountain. I’m not sure about that. I trust the people I went with, and I know they did what was needed to keep me safe.
The doctor diagnosed me with dyspepsia and gerd, but that was before I started having loose bowel movement. Diagnoses change whenever there’s a new and different symptom, right? (This is what I get for watching House too much). I wasn’t able to go back to the doctor because I was already very weak.
People kept telling me that I should probably be confined at the hospital (When I went in to see the doctor last Tuesday, I still had strength left, so I guess that’s why she didn’t send me to the hospital) but I kept procrastinating. 
I didn’t like the thought of a dextrose being inserted into my vein (or should it be into the artery?).
I can eat a few mouthfuls of rice now, so I guess I am okay, and there’s no need to be confined.
