Bug?

I need a new tummy. :o(  Mine hurt all night; every time I woke up, I had a stomach ache. Sometimes it prevented me from sleeping. I thought it might be--you know, the usual reason for a stomach ache--but nope, that's not it. So I'm wondering if I have some sort of mild stomach bug. It still hurts, but not as bad as it did all night.

Also, my silly kitty would NOT let me sleep last night! I ended up shutting him out of the room 3 times. Usually, shutting him out once is enough, but not last night. Oh, what a little pain. It's a good thing he's cute.

So...I did badly this weekend, starting Friday. On Friday, I had the specialist appointment to see if I need to be concerned about my heart, and I didn't eat breakfast because I didn't want my stomach to get upset. I didn't think it would take that long. Well, it turns out, it wouldn't have taken that long, but my doctor's office seems to have lost my echo-cardiogram report. They, inexplicably, sent him my psychiatric report instead. I didn't even know they had it. Also, the assistant called the place I had the echo-cardiogram done to ask them to send it, but although they kept saying they faxed it, it never came through. So by the time I got home I was beyond starving, and ate everything in sight.

Then this weekend was a lot of snow and wind and cold, and just generally crappy weather, and I'm afraid that mostly being stuck at home with a bunch of not-so-satisfying food was a problem for me. Although on Saturday night, we managed to make it out to go to a restaurant called Gaucho's, which is a Brazilian rodizio. It was good, but quite honestly I was more interested in the carb-y items than the meat. We ordered an appetizer of cheese buns made from manioc flour, and they were really good. Even my dad ate one and thought it was good, and he hates cheese (who is this person? I can't really be related to him!). I want to go back. I'd be perfectly happy to just have what they call the salad bar, but which actually includes rice, potatoes, meat dishes, stews, beans, etc.

Anyway, I'm trying to be back on track today. Therefore it's annoying that MyFitnessPal is down for the time being. But I shall persevere.

  1. Sorry your stomach has been so upset, I wonder if it's the meds. As for the juice could you buy those little juice boxes kids drink then just put one in the freezer for a bit when you want one. That way you could store them somewhere other than the fridge where he couldn't find then *smile*. Hope you get to feeling better.

  2. Thanks, Dawn. I don't think it's the meds--it was bad all night, and this morning before I even took them. Plus I took something since then to help my stomach, and in a way it's working, but in a way it's worse. Now my tummy's all swollen and hurts again, and I feel like crap. I'm almost positive now that it's a bug.

    That's a good idea about the juice! Thanks! :o)

    I'm going to go die now... *is not melodramatic AT ALL*

  3. You get alot of stomach troubles, I wonder if you are allergic to a certain food group like dairy or wheat/gluten? I know those 2 are big on causing stomach issues.

  4. Well, milk hates me (but I love it! I love it so much! Why must our love be unrequited!?), but no other dairy seems to bother me. Yogurt makes things better if I eat the right kind.

    I've wondered about wheat, too, because my stomach felt so good when I was on Atkins. But I love wheat, too.

    I really think this particular issue is a virus. It just has "virus" written all over it (in a manner of speaking).
