I seem to have a knack for avoiding going out on the really bitter coldest days. This morning around 2 am, I started getting sporadic stomach cramps that pretty much prevented much further sleep. I didn't feel like I could possibly exercise, so I didn't try to get up til 5:40, but it became immediately obvious that I was in no shape to participate in the day. I had to eat a bowl of cereal around 7 am so I had food in my stomach to take my morning dose of antibiotics, but I went immediately back to bed and got up to throw it up in about an hour or so. No more vomiting or soft, urgent BMs since, but only was able to get up to sit awhile around 3 pm. I'm sure I'll head back to my bed within half an hour or so. Most of the day has been spent in sleep. I got up at 5:30 when Dad came home and sat on the couch for about an hour. I was able to prop myself up to read for a small portion of that time. I wanted to wait to eat something else til I'm due for the next dose of antibiotics so I only have to eat once. I have managed half a PB sandwich and some IBC dark cherry soda that the woman Dad worked for today sent for me. She gets chemo periodically and said it's the only thing she can keep down at times. Seems to be sitting okay in my tummy, too. Food: 7:00 am 1 c Quaker Oat Squares, 1/2 c almond milk 6:45 pm Slice Brownberry 100% whole wheat bread, 1 tbl Jif, 12 oz IBC dark cherry soda
