Sunday afternoon I had some vegetables, rice and cotttage cheese. Soon after that I threw up. Later I took some Pepto Bismol and ginger ale, I threw up again. I texted you about throwing up and said I have to go to bed. I was in no condition to be using the phone and I didn’t want to hear it ringing. I can appreciate that you and Bridgette would like to call me during the night to check on me, but I couldn’t talk or text anyone. I laid there in my bed, I was in pain from this thing as well as being hungrey and thirsty. Every time I drank something I threw up. I was caught between the need to drink ginger ale and not being able to keep it down. I was up most of the night. I went to the toilet to throw up at least 10 times and it wasn’t ordinary vomitting like I do at your house sometimes. Its what you would call violent vomitting, very hard and painful. It was so bad I couldn’t even get on my knees. I sat on the floor in front of the toilet with my legs wrapped around it. There were tears coming from my eyes, I was moaning and groaning. Later I had diaria. As I laid in my bed it seemed like any thought that came to mind with any kind of emotions would turn to pain in my stomache. About 4:30AM I drank more gingerale and it stayed down and I felt better. More than half the pain I felt had gone away, but a half hour later I threw up again. I couldn’t even get to the bathroom in time, I used the waste basket in my room. My mother was up most of the night too, she was worried about me. She said this was the same thing she went thru. About 6:00AM I drank more ginger ale and it stayed down this time, about 75 percent of the pain was gone. Later on my mother devoloped diaria again. We are convinced that this was caused by a virus. The candy she ate was a coincidence. As for throwing up and being in pain, this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in my life. That’s how bad it was. Right now its 10:15AM and I haven’t vomitted for a few hours. I drank more gingerale and had a few small tomatoes. My stomache still feels bad but not like before. On a happier subject, my mother and me are still on for Sunday. She likes American cheese, that will be fine. She likes more than just 3 things, those are some of her favorites. I think what ever Bridgette makes she will like.
