Zofran is my new best friend!

Wow, I don't know what got into my stomach, but UGH!!  After hours and hours of moaning on the bed and in the bathroom, Hubby finally ended up taking me to the ER.  For some bizarre reason, though, he thought a tank top, jacket, flannel pants and mocs was not appropriate wear for the ER, so he made me get dressed in real clothes before he would take me!!  I was too sick to argue, but I did put my foot down about putting on a bra.  No way did I want anything strapped around my torso!!  While we were in the waiting room, I still didn't really care what I was wearing, but in retrospect, I'm kind of glad all those guys who were there from downrange didn't see me in my jammies.    At any rate, the doc poked and prodded me for about 30 seconds and then prescribed Zofran and two IV bags.  I like Zofran!  Just as effective as Phenergan, but without the sleepies.  I had some chicken broth and sugar-free Jello when we got home last night.  Woke up this morning feeling nearly normal (except for the raging headache - caffeine withdrawal?) and starving, so all is good now.  I haven't even needed to take any of the Phenergan they sent home with me.  I've been pretty cautious about what I eat, but I think I'll be okay to have fajitas with my parents tonight.

 

Oh, poor Bean and Hubby!!  They left before 8 this morning to pick up my parents from the airport as their flight was supposed to arrive at 1020.  They got to the airport only to find that the flight is now scheduled to arrive at 1319.  Of course, once in Philly, my parents had no way to call us to let us know their flight was delayed by 3 hours.  I hope everything is okay and they make it here all right!  I can't wait to see them!!  It's been 14 months since I saw them last and that's a LONG time for us.  I just wish I was well enough to be the one to pick them up from the airport.  Oh well, at least they get to see Bean right away.  Bean and my mom have a very special friendship.  I hope my mom remembered what it's like to ride in the backseat with the Bean.   

 

TTFN!

Ooh -- I am so sorry that you had to feel that way. So not fun. But Zofran is a nice drug -- but it can be, um "binding" If ya know what I mean. I hope you are having a great visit with your parents. I guess Mike forgot to check online for the flight status, hmm?

Blessings, Carla
