Ran today. Stomach got upset (diarrhea & feeling like I had to throw up). Made it to the pdoc's dehydrated. I told him, don't even weight me, the number won't be right, and he didn't. I got a lecture on eating more protein. Kept meds the same for the first time in forever. Have a phone appt. with him in 2 weeks.

Got home, started feeling sick again. Took some Pepto-Bismol (supposed to be careful using it if you have ulcers, but I am not sure about post-ulcer because they gave it to me in the hospital all the time, of course, the liquid version). Started feeling a bit better. Ate chicken, rice & barley soup, some applesauce, feel horrendous, like I might throw up any second. I had thought maybe I made myself sick running too far on an empty stomach, but I'm pretty sure it's a stomach bug. OMG, I feel awful.

Every time I try to lie down in bed, something disrupts me - telephone (telemarketer), doorbell (UPS, then FedEx, then UPS, then Jehoviah's Witnesses). I just can't lie down and nap or even relax.

Dehydrated to the point of looking bad in the face: the sallow, hollow type face. I get just a few pounds lower or lose some water, I just look awful. Took more Pepto-Bismol (that stuff can be taken more than most medications), feeling a bit better, so I think I will look for more liquid: water, apple juice, applesauce even. Wish I had some grapes, but I don't.
