The Caesar Salad had an interesting flavour and I suspect this was what upset my stomach. At the time, I wished I could have sampled the salad and then not eaten it. To quote Vir Coto:

"But it tastes so great going down. Coming up again, it's not so terrific, but-" 

21 September 2012

Breakfast: Cheerios and coffee

Lunch: at the Wyatt Earp street Pizza Hut for a salad, sausage pizza and vanilla pudding.

I don't like pizza with veggies on it and they did not have any pure meat pizza. So, I gripped to the manager. Several minutes later, he brought me a plate with two slices of sausage pizza. I had thought of bitching about this but this act of excellent service was simply unexpected and wonderful. So, what can I say but "the service was excellent!"  Later, he asked me how the pizza was so I honestly said "great".

Dinner: a can of Dillions beef stew and some Oreos and iced water. When I get home, I'll have some "Pink" for a belated dessert. ("Pink" is Pepto Bismol.)

A couple of hours after going to bed, I started coughing up globs of yellow crap and vomited. I then went back to bed and came down with a severe case of shivering. I had two blankets on me, asked my wife to turn the fan off and it took a very long time to warm back up. I also had very painful urination; I remembered dropping my "water pill" the previous morning and that probably screwed me up good. I was sick to around noon on Saturday... 

4 September 2012

_____Breakfast:   cheerios and coffee
________Lunch:  We had an office luncheon and I had:

• salad
• the main course, which was noodles with kind of spaghetti sauce
• two rolls, no butter
• piece of Cherri's homemade chocolate cake with vanilla ice creamme and Larry's homemade chocolate sauce and
• a bottle of Diet Pepsi

_______Dinner:  I made home made spaghetti sauce and should have done a much better job of draining the grease. that is, I should I put the hamburger in a strainer and ran hot water over it!

Any way, about an hour after going to bed, dinner came back up. This really upset Kathie, who threw a fit, slamming the bedroom door, and yelling at me "that's enough; you can quit vomiting now!" Somehow, I don't think my stomach really gives a shit about being ordered to "quit vomiting now".

She means well and worries about my health. She is also much more bothered by my "blowing chunks" than I am...

18 August 2012

Breakfast: at the recently reopened "Inn Pancake House"

• 6 oz "breakfast" steak
• two eggs over medium
• hash browns
• two pancakes
• lots of coffee...

The service was good. Anthony Bourdain wrote something to the effect that if a restaurant has a dirty men's room, then it is likely to have a dirty kitchen. Their men's room was remarkably clean, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt regarding the kitchen cleanliness.

Lunch: two hots dogs and a small amount of potatoe salad. I had cold water.

Snack: a chunk of dark chocolate and coffee

Dinner: A traditional mixture of hamburger, pan fried chunked potatoes and boiled broccoli. This is the kind of stuff I used to eat routinely and which I gave up on for several years. Having eatten it again, tonight, I can kind of see why I quit. While I liked it, it was rather bland.,..

Desert: some little Oreos.

Pre-bed: a hot dog and slice of sour dough bread with grape jelly and an MGD

I had two bouts of vomiting a couple of hours after going to bed. I suspect it was my dinner. My hamburger was too greasy and I cooked the potatoes in a mixture of veggie oil and olive oil.

Friday the 13th

Breakfast: first, a egg, sausage and cheese sandwich that a coworker brought in; he brought in a bag of these things and handed them out...

Breakfast (for real): a bowl of cheerios and coffee

Lunch: the left over spaghetti sauce (we were very short of noodles),  and a can of Pepsi One (I'm maxed out on coffee and iced water)

Snack: I worked at the 3I show. The Lions Club provided Lions to work the belt buckle and hats sales stand. I sold a couple of hats. Actually, a couple of men decided they had to have hats, picked up a hat and paid me...

Food wise, I had a Slim Jim, medium Diet Coke, a bottle of water and  refill of the bottle from a drinking fountain. It was hot at our stand and I was definitely feeling heat stress...

Dinner: We went to Montana Mike's and I had:

• rolls and butter
• salad with French Dressing
• steak dinner
• 12 oz rib eye steak (I took about half home)
• baked potatoe (also took about half home
• no desert
• iced water

The food was excellent and the waitress young, eager, and provided excellent service.

Snack at home: gin-n-tonic

Unfortunately, the excellent dinner was too greasy for my damnably delicate stomach. I blew chunks about two hours after going to bed. A couple of hours after that, I woke up dehydrated and realized that against my desires, I would have to drink some water. I drank the water and this set off an ashma attack. Fortunately, a couple of poofs from the inhaler brought easy breathing after about a minute of miserable breathing...

These are two more items to discuss with my family MD on my next twice annual MD visit...

Vomito Ergo Sum

24 June 2012

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!

31 May 2012

Breakfast: spoon sized shredded wheat and coffee

Snack: left over bean-free all-meat chili with crackers and cat sup and a can of Pepsi One.

Lunch:  at "Tres Amigos" for burritos and something else, rice and beans, a glass of "Diet Coke" and  some iced water.

Movie Snack: nachos and cheese and a medium "Diet Pepsi"

Sack of some baked potatoe skins at a Relay Walk For Life Bank Night. Then, I had a glass off Land Shark on tap...it was good...

Dinner: At Casey's Cowtown for roast beef and mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The veggie was  inedible; it was green beans...

Results: about 2 hours after going to bed, I was in the main bathroom blowing chunks. This was not one of my usual "put my finger down my throat".  This was all one it own and I was glad I made it to the toilet in time! I was astonished at how much was coming up.
