The end of the tunnel

I think I finally see the end of the tunnel today. After writing my post about pasta the other day, it just went worse and worse. Anything that I would put in my mouth would give me acid reflux, even water. But I forced myself to drink little sips throughout the day. All I manage to eat was one banana and a small piece of bread. When at the end of the day yesterday I couldn't take it anymore, I took a laxative pill. And that was the beginning of the end...

I threw up all through the night, with little moments of peace, then horrendous pains and vomiting again, until there was nothing else left but bile.. I'm sorry for the disgusting details... After that, I crawled into my bed, feeling cold and sweaty, only to wake up hours later feeling like new, with a completely empty digestive system.

I feel so much better than the previous days when I thought I felt better. I am so weak though. I walk like some sort of zombie and clutch my tummy... just in case it would fall out (as if!), oh and I look like a zombie too. But that's collateral damage.

On Friday I'm supposed to go to the south of Belgium with a couple of friends. Looks like I will be able to go after all. I know the friends I'm going with will take care of me. Still scared something would happen there in the middle of nowhere... he, nothing to worry about though: it's still Belgium!

  1. Coucou Sali,
    Je crois que ce serait bien si tu pouvais aller avec tes amies en ardennes, ça te changerait les idées . et la Belgique, c'est si petit, en cas de pépins, tu serais vite chez toi. enfin, fais comme tu le sens ma puce ...je t'embrasse et pense toujours très fort à toi

  2. It will probably do you good to do something fun with your friends, but keep a GSM close to hand, just in case! Hope you go from strength to strength. xLeila

  4. Sali, how are you? I hope the lack of updates means that you're having a good time with your friends. Take care, Silvia
