Feeling blah
I am beginning to wonder about all those other people's blogs I read that just had tremendous amounts of energy as soon as they got home from the hospital; cause it ain't happenin' here!
It's nothing major, but I just haven't felt real great. I should have known that when ice chips made me nauseous in the hospital that it was going to take a little longer for me. Oh well. I haven't had any vomiting (thankfully) but a good bit of nausea. Also my inner workings still were sounding like a rusty factory everytime I drank something. Top everything off with I was constipated with what I had eaten.
So I called my doc over the weekend, he was not on call a partner was (This was Sunday evening). He said as long as I wasn't vomiting to try to make it thru the night, because the only other option was to put me back in the hospital. (NO HOSPITAL - got to go to the Collective Soul premiere. You know doctors, once they get you in, they won't let you go!) So I call back yesterday, and my Dr. Richard prescribes a med called Reglan for me. I looked it up, it helps the peristalsis in the digestive tract so that you don't stay as nauseous, and in my case also helped with the constipation. It used to be used for people after chemo (until they found some wunder-medicines!) and for people with severe acid reflux to keep things moving down instead of up. The only problem is one of its main side effects is depression - and it says right on it, top of the warnings- if you suffer from depression, this is probably NOT the best medicine for you. But, I go to see the doc on Friday, maybe my stomach will have healed anough by then to do its little wavelike movements on its own.
