stephanie is: 
getting better (i hope)…
so i’m not dead yet!
yesterday afternoon i continued to feel horrible – not like the past week when the nausea would only last an hour or two. at 6pm i changed into jammies and got into bed. i set up a tray with a barf bowl, water, meds… managed to have a few sips of veggie broth and 1/3 of a graham cracker. danny joined me and went to sleep at 7 or 8 pm since he had been up 24 hours. i was feeling very sick and having to take meds every half hour.
at 9pm i brushed my teeth and tried to sleep. the air smelled and tasted like vomit or stomach acid to me. for three hours i laid uncomfortably on my back (i am a tummy sleeper) manageing to sleep only 5 of every 15 minutes. by midnight i could have sworn it would be morning since time was dragging so much.
i managed to sleep a lot better after that and woke up around 6am. i watched the news in bed and danny went out for juice and bagels. he got me a plain cinnamon raison one and i was able to eat half of it over an hour. my tum had still been feeling very sour non-stop, but that was an improvement over barfy. after the bagel i feel a bit improved and was able to get so better sleep for a few hours. danny gave me a no cheese veggie sammich and i made it through half of it with no meds. i even had some chips and a few bits of cookie. i have to try to eat as much as i can cause danny will kick my ass if i get skinnier. i went back upstairs to lay down and take it easy. i passed time by watching queer eye and a movie ‘tuck everlasting’. after all the meds i’ve been taking, i am amazed i can still poop.
i’ve only been sitting up for a half hour and it is making me feel queasy. that sucks, cause i was hoping it wouldn’t. i’m still hungry though. hrm. i’d really like to be more up and about tonight, but i guess i’ll just have to take it slow and see.
