Tonight I am feeling like the only person in blogland who does not have a life as all my bloggy buddies have not updated their blogs!
Thought I was going to be spending the evening in the ER. Total weirdness. I felt fine all day today then I had dinner; Biggest Loser Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry; a favorite of mine. As I was finishing up, I started to get sort of intense pain in my belly, which I just thought was me being full. I did the dishes and switched the laundry loads in the basement and when I came back upstairs, all I could think was "Holy crap, this hurts like hell!"
I sat on the couch for awhile but could not get comfortable due to the pain. I laid on the couch. Miserable. I went upstairs and laid down on the bed. Ugh. Back downstairs to the couch, where I sat on the edge of it, hands splayed across my tummy as if willing it to STOP FREAKING HURTING! The pain stretched around my sides to my lower back and I was really starting to get scared. This was not normal "I'm full" discomfort. This was pain. With the pain in my lower back, I placed a sofa pillow behind me and slowly and painfully leaned back and I stayed there for about 15 minutes, just riding the waves of misery.
When I sat up again finally, I felt the pain shift upward as if it was traveling up through my ribcage and then....nothing. The pain began to cease and was finally gone. Gas apparently? Gas bubble like I have never had before? Did I trap air or something while eating dinner? Not a clue, dudes, but I sure don't want to repeat it anytime soon!
Now that the weekend is over, the freaking sun is trying to come out.
Bastard.
Hey Girl - becareful with pain like that - email Laurie and double check that your pain isn't some sort of hernia.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the pain I went to the ER with a while back... turns out it was my kidneys. When we eat a LOT of protein, the kidneys have a hard time. Maybe do a lower-protein day or two and see if it helps?? I always have to either do that or double my water. Good times.
