Setback

Everything has been going so well, far better than anyone anticipated when I was admitted over a week ago. Until last night. After a miserable, restless, reflux-filled night, I unexpectedly vomited this morning. I needed anti-nausea meds to settle things down, and my stomach was twitchy the rest of the day. No clue where that came from, however my doctor is hesitant to discharge me if there’s any question whether I’ll be able to stay hydrated once off the IVs. So, tonight is the test. If all goes well, and today was just a random fluke, I could be discharged tomorrow – however, if I continue having problems, I’ll be here until it’s resolved. What an annoying thing to keep me trapped here!
