Belly Busters

So it was one of my favorite places pre-surgery and I haven't been in about 4 months. But Nick kept bugging me to go so we went today and despite my eating 3 bites of food- I have been paying for it all day long. I am talking about the infamous Belly Busters diner in Billerica....home of the $6 BB special that Nick and i used to split. 3 eggs, 2 plate sized pancakes, 2 sausage patties, 2 huge strips of bacon, toast and homefries. No I'm not kidding. We usually did a pretty good job on it too. Well we got it today, because its his favorite and you cant beat the price. I figured i would have a couple bites of everything but the eggs. So I had a tiny bite of bacon, 1 potatoe, and 1 small bite of pancake. I knew right away I was in trouble. I dont understand why or how i can get so sick from a few bites of food. It is just so unimagineable to me. I tried to keep it together and go walk it off, do errands etc. I had Nick of course, so no time off for me. Even if I could have it makes it worse to lay down or even sit down. There is nothing you can do til it passes. This one was a doozy...lasted for 4 hours of agony. We went to the mall and I kept running into every bathroom in every store, thinking I was going to be sick. I never threw up but I had the foamies really bad and I was in so much pain.
I called Lew from the Build a Bear bathroom crying, telling him he had to come get us because I did not think I could make it home. Of course he was in a big meeting so we ended up sitting on a couch outside Nordstroms for about a half hour while I prayed and clutched a plastic bag. Nick was such a trooper, he was so patient and just people watched and ate his lollipop. I finally staggered to the car and made it home, thank god we only live a mile away. Lew came home a few minutes later and took Nick out for an icecream while I laid down...the pain had subsided a bit and I was just exhuasted and drained from the drama. Not to mention I have only had 6 ounces of water all day and those 3 bites of food. So I passed out and slept for an hour. I just woke up and feel better but I am nursing a small cup of Propel and its slow going. I can not wait to go to the doctors tomorrow. I better get some answers.

I ran into an old friend at the mall today- luckily I wasn't at my worst sick stage when I saw her. I was still functioning and just feeling lousy- but not running for the bathroom just yet. I worked with Cathy Craig back at WMUR - our first tv job. We were really good friends and have alot of great memories. It was so fun to catch up with her. She was with her 3 boys! Turns out she lives the next town over, Winchester, so we are going to get together soon. So that was fun.

Ok stand by for the big post doc appt update tomorrow...I pray we get some help.
Down 65 pounds today...but what does it matter if I feel like this?? It has to get better.
