I thought things were getting better but then yesterday afternoon hit and I realized it wasn't. I was forced to race home from the pool with the hopes that I could make it. Fast forward to the overnight hours that had me up every hour to use the commode, getting no sleep, and well, come 7:30 I'll be phoning my doctor. I'm hoping that at the very least, she'll order some blood work to see if something shows up there. I've taken anti-diarrheal meds and Pepto with no results. I can't even walk the dogs because I'm afraid to be too far away from a bathroom. Who knows, if I get the chance to go to the docs, how I'll get through that. At this point, I can't imagine there's even anything in my system. Ugh! I've never had something like this happen for this long.
Maggie called a bit ago and when I told her my plight, she said, "Have you thought that maybe Jim's poisoning you?" That I had not thought of. Hmm. Maybe he wanted to turn the tables and have it be me who the medical pain in the ass. I just can't think of any reason why this would suddenly happen. I didn't eat anything weird. I didn't get in the lake while at the Bay. I only say that because it crossed my mind that maybe I had a parasite. So frustrating.
In other news, Eva gets her braces off today!!! I'm so excited for her. However, she's such a weirdo. When asked if she was excited, she said, "What if I look funny without my braces?" I mean, she certainly rocked the braces and never pooh poohed them but why would she think she'd look anything but awesome. I mean, she wasn't born with braces on. She a kook.
My day at the pool yesterday ended up being a chilly day next to the pool. However, it was nice to catch up with the ladies and discuss things going on recently. One interesting tidbit regarding the new high school that will be built: It is supposedly NOT going to be on our current practice fields but most likely on the current baseball fields. This is significant because NO ONE wanted the site to be on the practice fields. It would've been a logistical cluster fuck. Other than that...nothing too exciting.
And that's all I've got. I've got 7 minutes before I can call the doctor so I'd best sign off. Wish me luck for some answers or at least relief. Hopefully this is just some sort of bug. Happy Tuesday. Later.
UPDATE: I just called the doctor and they can fit me in at 11:50. A) I hope this is just a bug and B) I hope it is easily treated. I have a feeling though that regardless, my doc is going to order a colonoscopy. I'm overdue and have put it off for too long. I guess summer's the time to get it scheduled though. K - I'll keep you updated as I'm sure you're now very invested in my colon. Later
