Drugs are Good!

This morning I got a little scared. During the course of my normal early morning hurl I noticed some blood commingling with the bile. Concerned I called a nurse line and was instructed to go to the emergency room as soon as I was able. Kind of freaked, I called my step-mother, who has been an RN forever, and asked for her opinion, she also said that I should go to the ER. My early morning grump of a hubby and I dutifully set off for the doc. Long emergency room visit made short, I caused some minor tears in my esophagus. The damage is caused by excessive vomiting and they put me on a saline drip and pushed some Zofran. Lovely.

Ode to Zofran
I love Zofran.
I've said enough.

I felt great for most of the day. Still tired but, man, not sick to my stomach hardly at all. Score. Apparently this drug is very safe for me and the baby, right up there with Tylenol and chewable Flinstones vitamins. I am going to consult with my OB on Wednesday about the Zofran, of course, but I gotta tell you I will probably keep using, even if she thinks it will make the monster have flippers (watch out Micheal Phelps, here comes my seal). I feel human for the first time in weeks!

Not much else going on this weekend, just working on building the patio. Oh! I also decided to pickle this fall and I am starting my seeds this weekend (cucumbers, beets, peas - not pickled, pumpkin - not pickled, mild peppers, and tomatoes - not pickled). I can't wait to build my above ground garden so that I can be cool just like my friend Ashley (she also inspired my earring choices, if I work hard enough I know I can morph into her :). Aaaahhhhhhhhh, spring!
