No better

This is so cool! Coming down from the ceiling. It looks like the sofa supports the "head" end of the bed and the coffee tables support the "foot" end.
WoW, so normally, the second day after a big flare up I am a little better. Not today. Can't sit, can't put my arm down and my digestive track is still insanely gross. Yesterday I lived on ginger ale and peppermint tea. Doing the same today. Man O Man this is a rough flare up. I'm so tempted to go to the hospital, but I already know there is nothing they can do. I can't have morphine as it makes me vomit. Then there was the time I went into "walk in care" because I hurt my back, and they gave me a shot of something (I still don't know what) it did take the pain away but, not only did it make me vomit but it put me in the ER because I became severely dehydrated. When I was in the ambulance for my kidney stone, they found they had a problem because all they had was morphine and since I can't have it, it threw them for a loop. Because it is a universal drug they give everyone for pain. The one thing I do know I can have is codeine. I can also have darvaset but they don't make that anymore... I think. I also can't have Vicadin. There is a couple of other really popular pain meds out there I know I can't have. Oh there was another one, again, I don't know what it was, but instantly it felt like there was an elephant on my chest. I sat right up and couldn't breath. The doc was right there, with EO and they saw me gasping and grabbing at my chest, but there was nothing they could do. It took a couple hours for the effects to go away. That was horrible.
It is no fun being in so much pain. that might sound like a no brainer but.... i'm having a tough time coping with this much pain. I'm trying really hard to keep my mind off of it, and keep myself distracted, but it isn't working very well. on top of the body pain, i have such a headache. if this doesn't get better, i don't know how i am going to manage going with EO to see the nutritious tomorrow. they want me there so that we can figure out what to eat that will help EO. and me too. that shouldn't be that hard to figure out as I can't eat heavily processed meats, and pasta has to be in small amounts. oh, and i still won't try turkey, as I am pretty sure I will never be able to eat it in this old system. I can't eat more than 3 strawberries and i don't handle tomatoes to well. Other than that.... I think they can' figure something out without me because I just don't know how I can handle a trip to Cloquet in the condition I'm in.
