Ok...I have to vent a moment.
I have been having a great deal of pain since Monday in the area of my kidneys. I almost went to the hosiptal last night, but got through the pain.
When I called the Dr. this morning and we start talking she realizes I am not drinking enough water and still not eating enough. She wants me to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day!!! That is ALOT!!! She thinks the pains are coming from the fact that I am starting to grow(showing now) and my body is dehydrated. Due to the heat what water I do have in my system, I lose so there is nothing left. I drink about 1 glass a water a day...
This does make sense to me because I have REALLY lost my appetite and have begun to get nausas again.
Ok...back to the story at hand. The Dr. insists that I drink water and eat something this morning. Not hungry at all....eggs, bacon, sausage, toast..nothing sounds good. So, I go downstairs and purchase a package of PopTarts. I was desperate.
I go back up stairs ..toasting my little PopTarts in the toaster, and a co-worker comes in. (one that always eats healthy) She askes how I am doing and we chat for a minute. She then asks what I am going to eat and when I tell her she just makes this face of disappointment and disgust and says "SHELBY!!!". Like.."You should be eating healthy!!".
I have explained hyperemesis to this person many times! It does not matter what you eat as long as you eat!!! And that is exactly what I told her with a bit of attitude behind it!!!
Good gosh people...it is not like I am a hundred pounds!!! I have only gained 10 pounds and I am 6 1/2 months pregnant!!!
LEAVE MY FOOD ALONE!
Ok... feel better now.
