9 April 2011

Breakfast: Kathie's big breakfast of:

• scrambled eggs,
• well cooked bacon,
• Serri Lee coffee cake and
• coffee

It was quite nice.

Lunch: We had

• 2 hot dogs in buns
• cottage cheese and
• potatoe chips and
  
• cold water

Dinner: I had a small Wendy's chocolate frostie. This is not the kind of thing a diabetic should have but I fear it was about all that I could have kept down. I started feeling sick shortly after I left the house to drive to work.

I went into a hardware store to buy some red onion bulbs for our garden. The clerk did not know how much to price the bulbs. I spoke my math out loud and convinced her that my 6 little bulbs would be 6¼¢. She could not enter this figure on her register and entered 6¢. The machine definitely added state/county/city sales tax and I have to fork over 8¢. Such a high price  :-D and I do hope this does my part in curing the state's budget deficit!

I went to work and was feeling worst. My pay forms were "locked in stone" on Wednesday and so it would be very hard to change the work schedule to let me take sick leave. I barfed twice in the early evening (or I should say I barfed multiple times at two different periods tonight.) I thought about the left over steak and baked potatoe from this past Tuesday (or Thursday?) and realized that I could never keep it down. I had boiled broccoli before leaving home but the small amount of olive oil and "butter" I'd mixed with the boiling water would probably resulted in the meal coming back up.

One of my co-workers was asking another fellow if he'd like something from Wendy's? I asked the guy on the phone to have Fred, the man calling, bring me a small chocolate Wendy's frostie. Fred brought it and it not only went down well but has stayed down... :-)

I'm trying to figure out what whacked me so hard. It just isn't normal for me to start barfing in the middle of the afternoon. (One to two hours after going to bed is far more normal). So, it could have been:

• heat stroke as I felt better when I went inside at the Hardware Store. But, I didn't feel better when I went inside at work. I was thirsty but feared that I'd barf if I drank water. I drank a small amount of water and felt better until I barfed it up...
• hypoglycemia: I am a type 2 and simply don't get low blood sugar. However, the Wendy's frozen desert has sugar and after eating 3 or 4 spoon fulls, I felt much, much better. Maybe it was the hypoglycemia?
• It could have food poisoning. I may not have rinsed the fry pan off good enough and will really rinse it good before we use it next! (I don't give a shit if you aren't supposed to immerse it!)
