Monday was such a fun day with my team at work! We took a half day and went to Fat Cats to bowl a few games. I bought a blue slushie since I was thirsty and I didn't see that they had lemonade. After about a 1/4 of the slushie I realized that it was way too much sugar for me and probably for the baby and headed back to get some carbs to help. All I could find that would work was nachos. They brought my nachos to the lane and the chips were spicy! They poured something on them that was freakin cayenne pepper. Well, I ate them anyway. The bowling was fun though... I lost the first game with bowling a 89 but the second game I won with a 150 or something. I went home, made Voila for dinner and didn't feel so good so I went to bed.
Fast forward to 8:30 that night and I was living in the bathroom. I was so sick! And the blue slushie came up first... gross I know! Then everything else I had eaten in about the last two days. My body hurt so bad and I could barely get up off the floor to crawl back into bed. I slept about two hours and then called my mom to take me to the hospital. I hadn't had one sip of water from 8:30 that night and it was now 7 in the morning. My mom picked me up at 8 am and we went to Alta View Hospital. I figured that I either had food poisoning (from the bowling alley) or the stomach flu. What I was concerned about though was dehydration.
Luckily I was the only one at the ER that early and I didn't have to wait. I went right back to a room and they started taking blood, giving me an IV, vitals, etc. I couldn't do the urine sample because I was so dehydrated so they gave me a quick cathedar just to get what they needed. They gave me Zofran (which I take now) in my IV as well as morphine since I was in so much pain from throwing up all night. I had a fever over 100. I got worse around 12:30 and they had to give me some different medicine that ended up knocking me out. When I woke up I was discharged and went home and went to sleep!
I stayed home from work on Tuesday (obviously), Wednesday, and Thursday. Today is Friday and I made it in to work but I still feel pretty crummy. I haven't had a fever since last night so I figured I was safe to come in.
I have another doctors appointment on Tuesday (13 weeks!) and will ask them to do an ultrasound to make sure that there is enough liquid in there for my baby. I still haven't been able to drink much or eat. I think I have lost about ten pounds in 3 days.
