Update (semi long)

I'm going to live!

Ugh....It's been such a rough couple of days.  I'm still not 100% today.  I'm all clammy and disgusting.  At least I'm not throwing up or going to the bathroom anymore. 

After reading what I wrote over again, I forgot to mention that poor FI has a sleeping disorder.  Once he takes his meds, its nearly impossible to wake him up for at least six hours.  Which is really scary.  What do you do when there's an emergency?  What are we going to do when we have kids?  I'll never be able to take a night off unless he doesn't take his meds. Etc.

Anyways, I had him take his meds before the stomach pains came.  Those came a few hours later.  I had thought the lining of my stomach was cut again.  This happened when I was 12 and it reminded me of that.  It had stopped long enough for me to sleep, when he woke up he didn't want to wake me.  He just left a note saying to stay home. (we work together)

I spent most of the day on the bathroom floor until my F-step son came home from school early.  He called FI, and we found out he couldn't come home early, because our only other employee called out sick.  He felt horrible that he had no clue I was in pain all night.  He ended up calling one of my BM's, who is a nurse and she came up to check me out.  She said I was slightly dehydrated and she thinks that I caught a case of the stomach flu.  She stayed with me until FI came home.  If my belly starts to burn again like it was doing I'll be calling a doctor ASAP.  It is the worst feeling!

For those of you that live out of state or over an hour away from friends and family, do you ever feel really vulnerable and lonely, when FI isn't there to pick you up?  I hate feeling secluded.

  • I'm sorry you're feeling so sick!

    I currently don't live too far from family, but I have in the past. One time I got sick like that and I kept calling my mom to see if she would come get me. It turns out she was sick just like me. :(

    It is good to have friends that will help you out in situations like that. You can not always expect FI to be there.
  • Oh gosh... there have been some nasty bugs going around and they really do make you feel like you're dying. It's so sad that you have no one else around :(
    I don't really either with my family about 2 hrs away from here and no really close friends - other than FI.
    I hope you feel better soon!!!

  • I'm glad to hear you are doing a little bit better. At least the throwing up has gone away. Keep yourself hydrated and lots of rest!

  • Glad to hear your are doing better and that FI was really just unaware! I'm not currently that far away from family but I lived in Rome Italy for three years and boy that was difficult. The feelings of vulnerability are truly scary. 
  • I'm 1700 miles from my parents :(
    FIs parents live about 40 miles from us and his mom has told me to go to their house before, but sometimes I just want my own bed and tv and movies!

    Hope today is better for you!

    Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
  • I live 2.5 hours away from my parents and I hate it.  The worst was this fall when my mother fell down a flight of stairs and almost killed herself (for those who are new, my mom spent a month in intensive care).  My dad got a call from the hospital saying she was dying and to come say goodbye.  I was in Virginia!  There was no way I could make it in time.  I was really lucky she didn't die with me on the road driving to see her.

    We live 15 minutes from FMIL but she is bat sh!t crazy.  I would never call her for something unless I truly thought I was dying.
