I slept horribly last night.  I was confortably asleep when I awoke to an intense pain across my abdomin just below my breast bone.  After a few minutes, I went to the Hotel bathrooon and drank some anti-acid. I also took a couple of anti-pain pills and went back to bed.  There, I kept rolling from my left side to right side and back to my back.

Then, I went to the bathroom and drank a couple of glasses of cold water.  My water and stomach contents did not stay down!  I barfed but this did not help me anyway!  I also had "lower digestive track problems" (diahreia) I spent the rest of the night on my right side, then on my back (with the initial high shot of pain).  After being on my back, I went back to my right side and had tghe same surge of pain.

Finally, I decided to take a risk and sleep on my left side. The pain surge was minor and didn't last long.  I finally got some sleep.  Kathie had a hard time getting me out of bed.

_____Breakfast:  at the Wichita Double Tree Restraunt where I took it easy on the buffet:

• pork SOS on baked potatoe chunks and
• a soft boiled egg on a bisuit, with a slice of ham between the two and a cheese sauce over it all. We don't remember what this is called
• coffee and
• iced water (Kathie figured I was probably dehydrated)

________Lunch: a Healthy Choice fish meal and iced water

At 4:21 pm, my stomach has stgarted hurting again.  Time for some cold water.

_______Dinner: We went to Sonic and I ordered the chicken stripes and got "Tator Tots" when I thought I was going to get french fries and also got two onion rings thrown in. I had a "Diet Coke". After we had waited for about 8 minutes, Kathie rang the bell and got "can we help you"? "Yes, we'd like our order." "Ah, it's ah, coming right now!"

It was clear the clerk who took our order had lost our order. If we had quietly pulled out and gone elsewhere, they may never have discovered this!

Anyway, I had the chicken, a bite of one onion ring and several "tator tots". (I don't like them...)

The service was extremely poor and they are on out "invisible store list" for the time being...

Pre-Bed Snack: a couple of glasses of water. After this morning's stomach debachle and given my stomach still hurts, I am on the wagon for the foreseeable future!
