Back to the Hospital...

Well, I've been increasingly under the weather for about a week now, and it came to a head yesterday (Friday) when I could not stay away from the toilet or keep anything down, including pills. We called up to the clinic and they immediately admitted me. I was feeling pretty awful, but as soon as I got some IV anti-nausea, things turned around drastically, and I now am feeling very good, no nausea, no frequent potty runs. But, I am on a funny diet. When I got here yesterday I was put on a "clear liquid" diet, which means broth or jello. Now, I'm on a progressive diet where I have a list of foods to choose, I can choose 1 and then in 3 hours, if all goes well, I can choose another one. So, they are being really nice to my tummy, which is good. But I'm SO hungry! and all I want is whatever is being advertised on tv! Oooo, this just in, I'm getting some red blood since my hematicrit is low. And it's going to be my new blood type, how exciting. So, the plan for the rest of the weekend is to continue to progress my diet and see how I react, and if it's smooth sailing, I'll probably go home Monday. Else, I'm scheduled for some gut-scopes on Monday to finally figure out what is going on. I'll keep you posted!
