there goes the 7-year winning streak

Throwing up is every bit as bad as I remembered it. Maybe worse, because

I can't ever remember being completely unable to breathe through my nose because my sinuses were filled with vomit before. The three minutes of Things Going The Wrong Way was nothing compared to the eternity of trying to get the Things out of my head. Half an hour and half a gallon of saline later, I think I'm shed of all the horrifying chunks. (Also much fairly reverent cursing and slight weeping, mostly involuntary.)

I lack crackers or other easily digestible bread products, so I'm making whole wheat drop biscuits with extra salt. Also, I started a load of laundry so I don't have to face anything bad tomorrow. It is possible that I am overly domesticated.

Maybe someday I'll be able to go to sleep. And I can stop having the hiccups, shit, of all the things to happen.

Notes to self:
Buy crackers.
Do not attempt to just go to sleep when feeling nauseated. Eat the crackers.
There's nausea and then there's nausea with stomach pain. The latter seems to be big trouble.
Eat your biscuits and go to sleep, girl.

Ack! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Like bring some bread down, or drive you to the hospital.

oh honey! I hate to throw up for just the reasons you cite, I am so sorry! I hope you are feeling better today, no one should have to cook for themseles when they are sick. luckily I don't really remember most of the last times I threw up but there are times I do. oh!

feel better, okay?

Poor dear! If I were nearby I'd bring you crackers, and gentle hugs, and cool washcloths for your forehead, and like that. I hope sleep happened and was good.

Oh, honey. You have all my sympathy.

I think in another few weeks I'll be able to laugh about it, but my latest incident involved the anti-nausea medicine I took too late being lodged in my soft palette.

Crackers, sprite, and sleep.

Oh, OW. Jeez, aren't you supposed to be done with that by now? It was just that once for me, thank goodness, though I'm having to eat little frequent meals of mostly starch.

icky pregnancy stuff

Well, I'm through with constant nausea, but my stomach is getting compressed more and more, which makes throwing up an easier option, sadly. And the gag reflex stuff is still an issue.

Morning sickness often eases up in the second trimester... but it often doesn't go all the way away, and sometimes it comes back full-force in the third trimester. The myth that it's confined to the first trimester is kept going so the species doesn't die out.

I hope you're feeling better (should be, by now -- I'm behind on LJ again, can you tell? But not by much).
