I'm sick today
Maybe it's not the same for everyone, but no matter how old I get, I miss my mommy when I'm sick 
I've had a sore throat and low fever, just enough to make life crappy, for the last two days. Well this morning, I woke up and felt better. Had my breakfast, went to the gym and felt like I was accomplishing something. By the time I left the gym I was thinking "BIG mistake!". I felt like death warmed over. I was pale and shaking with cold sweat coating my body. My stomach and lower abdomen started cramping and I get home and its coming out both ends (sorry TMI). I'm trying to sleep between dashes to the bathroom and it's just not working for me. I call my surgeon and he tells me to stay on clear liquids for the next 36 hours but if they don't start staying down by this evening, to call him back and he's putting me in the hospital because he doesn't want me to dehydrate. I started sipping on some fat free chicken broth now, so we'll see if it stays down. Please wish me luck and stuff to keep me out of the hospital! Love you guys!

I always want my mom and dad to check in on me when i am sick......my hubby i just want him to be home but to leave me alone (smile) he keeps checking on me when i am sick driving me nuts...........i know he means well and i love him with all my heart but he is always nervous when i get sick. keep sipping sipping girl!!!
Donna,
Sorry to hear you are sick. I too was sick earlier this week and it is no fun!!! Bad enough you don't feel like eating or even drinking!!! But this week when I saw my doctor, he too said that if I am so sick I can't get my fluids in, definetely go to the ER for IV fluids. He said if you get behind in your hydration, it is bad. He said food you can skip a few days, but not your fluids.
So I hope that you are managing to get in your drinks, and take care and get beter quickly.
