Wow, Ada, sorry to hear this. I've been gone for several days, sick myself. Hopefully your tummy is better by now, but for future use, remember the "BRAT" diet for upset stomachs... Bananas, Rice, Apples (can be juice, whole fruit, or sauce) and Tea (avoid ones with caffeine, go with Chamomile or some other fruit kind).

It's been a crazy week for me and I just felt like getting back on here.

I took the fish back to the store and I did get my money back. I didn't eat any sauce on it. The date was ok on it thought.

I have just started feeling better today.

I have had 3 boys here for 2 days but they have been good. I had a water pipe to bust in the bathroom yesterday and my son-in-law had to leave work to come and fix it. Water was going everywhere and I didn't know how to turn it off.

My truck wouldn't start today so my ex-son-in-law had to get it going for me. I have to make it last 2 more weeks.

As far as my finger, it is still the same. I have no ideal what is wrong with it. I made an appt. with my hand surgeon on the 23rd, but I see my PCP Monday. I am hoping he can help me figure out what is going on. I figured if it is major though, I will need the hand surgeon to figure it out.

My depression has been really bad this week. As you know, we had to turn the VNS back down and I thought I would get back to where I felt when we first turned it on but I have not done good this week.

I think every day was Friday the 13th this week.

As far as fish, I don't know how long it will be before I can eat it again.It's one of my favorite foods but it might stay on ice for now.

Thanks for all of the support and good wishes.

Awwwwwwww Ada.. here is a huge (((((HUG)))) for ya hun!! Love ya lots!! Love, Desi p.s. I do not blame you for eating fish any more!! My sister, to this day will not eat mushrooms. (she was only 15) At the drive-in... remember those?? ahhhhhh the good 'ol days, eh?? anyway, it was dark in the car and her friend's mom go's to get popcarn and here Cindy(My sis) looks down into her can of mushrooms and there is fuzzy mold all in it, she did not get sick to her tummy, but it grossed her out so much.. that she said;"I will neve eat even 1 mushroom" and to this day.. she is in her 40's now.. will not eat 'em!!

It turned out that I didn't get sick on the fish but I think it got my gastritis started.

I got sick again Tuesday night and threw up for 6 hours again. Near the end I was throwing up blood. My Dr. thinks also that my stomach is not emptying. I don't know what he will do next. I see him again Monday.

I also got a call from them on my sleep test. I will be getting the cpep machine. I am waiting for the company to call me to bring it out. I had to call the hospital to get them to send the copy of the test to my PCP. They hadn't even done it. They faxed it to him yesterday and then they called. I was worried that they would make me go through it again but it evidently showed enough for them to say I needed the machine on the first try.

I laid around all day yesterday. I haven't gotten dressed yet today. I think all of this has made my depression worse.

I get past one thing and then end up dealing with something else.

I've tried reading some of the post off and on but have been too sick to answer any of them. I hope all of you are doing better. IHH, I PM'd you, my friend. Hang in there.

Thanks again for all of the support and help you give me.

Ada
