I'm going to a baseball game!
 

and the temperatures are supposed to be like 90. (eeek!) :eek:

At least it doesnt start till 7pm on saturday night, and the stadium seating is nicely arranged that people at early evening games will have the sun at their backs.

It's a minor league game. (Lincoln Saltdogs here in Nebraska) At least I think it's minors...local baseball team. I dont know much about the team, except for the fact I had the best time of my life last summer at one of their games...while I had a horrible optic neuritis thingie going on that was causing double vision. I figured if I could it enjoy it that much in the middle of a visual flare, I'd see if it would be any fun during the flare that I'm in now. (most of my body is numb, including the right side of my face and right eyeball)

I got the very last hotel room at the hotel that I prefer there. (I live in Omaha, game is in Lincoln, and I dont want to make my boyfriend do all that driving to get me home after the game)

I'm just hoping the concessions stand sells frozen lemonade or slushies or something like that.

I'm going to ask about seats in the clubhouse seating (inside, possibly air conditioned right behind the home plate)

I'm kind of excited. I get to get out of Omaha for a couple of days, the hotel has a swimming pool and there will be peanuts at the baseball game. :)

I just hope that the 90 degree temperatures will be more like 78 degree temperatures by the time the game starts, and that there will be a breeze. Either that, or that the concessions stand will have stocked up on ice and other cold stuff.

It's weird. I've never been interested in baseball, unless it's got something to do with a Kevin Costner movie, something about the game I went to last year made me want to go to another one...surprised me that I enjoyed it so much then, I was seeing two of everything then, and was drunk-walking from the vertigo, but I still had fun. I hope it's just as fun this time...sans the double vision and the vertigo.

I also want to see if the MS will let me do this. Except for sitting outside of my house in the evenings this summer, I havent tried to go do anything that required much walking or leaving the confines of my air conditioned basement. I'm a bit scared of the hot temperatures, and a bit worried about doing a lot of walking. (right hip is numb, and I'm apparently guarding that side of my body and not moving my leg like I should, which is making my back hurt really really bad. I'm taking a walking stick with me)

At least I'll have an air conditioned hotel room to go back to. (be turning the a/c down before I leave for the game so it's cool when I get back)

Maybe not
Just woke up with food poisoning

It's hard to vomit with spasticity in the ribs

Eeeeeeeeww

I have to go be sick some more

yay for relatives with medical knowledge (a nurse practitioner aunt) and some leftover compazine.

I feel crummy.

compazine rocks! it also has an anti anxiety component to it. Go to bed! sleep. :hug:

that explains how I was able to relax while laying in an uncomfortable position for the last couple of hours. (sleeping in a sort of sitting up position, just in case)

I've been able to drink some water and the compazine is WONDERFUL stuff! I was afraid it wouldnt help, but it's great. I may actually get to that baseball game yet.

I'm still dehydrated now. Trying to drink water, just dont want to cause myself another problem.


I emailed the board of health about what happened. I'm going to call the restaurant later when I'm not so shaky feeling and kvetch (complain) a bunch. I'm never eating there again tho. Ewww! Second time I've gotten sick from there, but this is the first time it was so bad. Last time I just got the queasies....this time it was the queasies will the ickies and the sickies.

Oh no! Erin I hope you feel better dear.

After a couple of compazines, and some sleep (slept till 3pm) I feel a lot better. My dad just made me some Mrs. Grass chicken soup and that was great. I ate some crackers and nothing bad happened.

So, hopefully I'll get to my baseball game tomorrow. Which, I havent bought tickets to yet...and it's after 5pm now. Argh! I think I'll call and see if they're still open and find out if the game is going to be busy or not, and if it's not I'll take my chances and buy the tickets when I get there tomorrow.

If I dont get to the game, at least I'll be able to go swimming, if I can find my swimsuit, and I'll be out of the house for a bit if my sister brings her kids over because their a/c broke this morning. (my dad gave them money for a hotel room, which I think would be more fun than coming to my house...they could go swimming!)
