PUKEY, PUKEY...
It's been 4 weeks now. I'm still sick.
A month ago I had what I thought was a flu bug. I missed two days of work and thought I was done with it. Well, 4 weeks later I still feel like I'm going to puke everyday. The nausea comes and goes and some days are better than others. Today I had to leave work again after only being there for two hours.
My doctor did an entire blood work-up and sent me to have abdominal x-rays. Neither of which showed anything. I talked to the doctor's office today and he is now scheduling me for a CAT scan of my abdomen this week. If that turns up nothing, he will refer me to a specialist.
I'm not sure how much longer I can live with this feeling that I'm going to toss my cookies several times a day, 7 days a week. I haven't felt hungry for the past month. I eat only because it's meal time and then I can't eat very much. Someone actually asked me at work this morning if I'd lost weight. While that's really flattering and all, I can think of much better ways to do it.
Sorry the blog has suffered because of this. As soon as I'm feeling better I'm sure I will have lots to post about.
I have some things in the works that will make for some good posts.
Until then, don't give up on me! I'm still here.
