ER

So apparently the bug I got from Logan was worse on me than it was on him. As I said on my blog yesterday, he was able to play around and have a pretty okay day....However, for me - it hit like a bat out of hell starting at 12:30. I didn't know what hit me, it came on so fast. As the day went on it got worse...I was vomiting all day and although all I had was water since 2:00 yesterday, I still couldn't hold it down. I had horrible diarhea and I knew that I needed to keep fluids in my system, but how????I literally could not stand up, I was doubled over in pain..and it felt like my insides were being twistedand pulled apart. I seriously do NOT ever remember feeling so sick in my life time. I knew in my head that this was just a bug that I had gotten from Logan, who had gotten it from JR - but I could not wait it out. I tried like hell....I had to call JR home from bowling because at that time, I was no longer mobile....I was basically crawling around. It was horrible. At 7:15 I told him I wanted to go to the ER...he kindly took me, and then I sent him home with the kids. I was severely dehydrated - due to the fact that I could not keep anything down. They confirmed that it was a stomach bug...not a virus - most likely caused by a germ. They said the dehyrdration probably intensified the stomach cramping....cramping my ass - it was FAR past cramping - I can handle cramps - this was much worse! The took my blood, ran the routine tests and gave me some anit-nausea medicine in my IV along with a prescription for the medicine so that I might be able to hold things down. I finally got to leave about 10:30. When I lefft, my stomach was MUCH better - I still had a little nausea, but my hips, knees, and ankles were killing me. #1 the beds are HORRIBLE, and #2 my bones do NOT handle the cold very well, and the IV fluids they gave me were very cold and really chilled my whole body....not good for the arthritis! Yuck....I ended up waking up just about every hour last night...I finally took the anti-nausea medicine and drank some water and took some tylenol for my hips...and finally got to sleep about 2 1/2 hours before waking up to feed Landry.
Today is JR's brithday, and I feel awful that he has been calling me over and over to check on me. Not really the way I wanted to spend his birthday! yuck....hopefully we can do something fun together this weekend....
