I woke up this morning thinking I was fine, that my gut troubles were behind me. I felt good! Then, after about an hour, the bloating/ache kicked back in. I still wasn't feeling well when my Uber arrived to take me for my hair cut. Fortunately, the Excedrin took effect just as I got into the chair. Since I was there for color, highlights and cut, it took more than two hours.
By the time I got home, I started to feel ooky again. I took my antibiotic and tried to regroup. I mean, it's Saturday! I deserve a better time than this on Saturday! I went to my favorite coffee shop -- just a few blocks away -- for a late-lunch burger and another chapter of chick-lit. I was fine when I was sitting there, but then, when I got up to walk home, OW! It felt like the longest couple blocks of my life.
I got home, took a nap, felt fine. Started to do laundry because, why not? It's not how I want to spend my Saturday, but I can't drink and I can't socialize because I feel creepy, so laundry seems like a reasonable thing to do. The thing is, going up and down stairs seems to make the cramping worse.
So this is what I've learned today -- I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO MOVE! I need to find a place, plant myself and I'll be fine.
I hate this.
Yikes! So sorry you are having this going on. Bah! Hope you get proper sleep and feel better by the morning. (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better soon and that your results tomorrow are an infection. This sound a bit like pain I live with now, since my last surgery, a deep ache and tug low inside my abdominal cavity. Movement does make it much worse. You might try a heating pad, too, if you have one. I find that helps.
ReplyDeleteBoo hiss for feeling yucky! This bout of vertigo I've had since Friday is kicking my ass.
