One of my New Year's resolutions ought to be 'do not have accidents'.

I tripped. And then tripped in the middle of my trip. And then my balance shoved me another way. In which I fell on my laptop so hard that not only did it close, but it landed where it either fell two feet away or fell on the ground and rolled.

Umm...

How the hell did I manage that?

My foot has an indent from hitting the metal part of the couch and it's probably sprained. My right arm hates me because all my weight landed on my elbow . I hit my head so I get to call my doctor on Monday for that. I don't even know. There's other stuff but I don't feel like running it down.

How and why?!

So... my stomach has been really screwed up for four years, since 2006. There's varying theories about how it got that way but it started in the year my Mom died and I got lyme disease. But something's happened that's never happened before.

They found a medication that works.

Little to no nausea, able to eat regular meals, a lot less pain. I can look at food without feeling like I'm going to die. I'm still throwing up occasionally but instead of it being all night, it's just once, which is a miracle in itself. Little sore spots left...

Zofran 8mg twice a daily and limited or no lactose. I've been on Zofran for years for 'as needed', but nobody ever thought to put it this way before. The only issue I have is that when I do have a bad episode (it happens occasionally but compared to before...), I have no medication for it. I can't take Zofran as needed anymore. But I need to see my gastro doctor soon, so we'll see what she says there.

The only problem is that my insurance may not cover this. But I guess there's grounds to prove that I need this... before I was put on this, I was so bad that I lost definitely five pounds in a few weeks - but probably more, just not on the scale. Before that episode started, I was a 2X in shirts, now I'm only a large and would be lower if not for my chest. 14/16 in pants again, which I haven't hit since 2005. All of this is not by any exercise or diet, but because I couldn't eat. I tried not taking the Zofran today and it went right back to that.

So apparently my stomach is still pretty fucked up, but this helps so much. I'm actually feeling normal, here.

Another Christmas miracle!
