I don't recommend the Food Poisoning Diet

As I quickly mentioned in a previous post, I had food poisoning last week. Not until today have I felt like myself...that's no joke. Now, people that know me can attest to the fact that I normally have an iron stomach. So, I was very surprised to find my body in serious distress over something that I ate. Turns out I ate a breakfast burrito last Wednesday afternoon that was not up to par...yuck :o( By Wednesday night, I thought my insides were dying. I have never been so sick ~ and the bad thing is, it lasted well over a week. On Monday, I finally went to the doctor's...they ended up hooking me up to an I.V. because I was so dehydrated. I had not eaten and had barely had anything to drink since Wednesday. I was so nauseated that I couldn't even stand to watch a commercial about food!!! I've been losing a pound a day...that part was okay with me...although, I wouldn't recommend that particular diet...and I was so fatigued that I could barely move. Unfortunately, I have both kids at home and they didn't understand why I was so sick. Ben mastered the words "get up"...while trying to pull me up off the couch. My wonderful husband has been so patient and so good to me, he has taken very good care of me...more importantly, he has taken care of the kids...I am very grateful. So, now I am back to normal and trying to catch up on so much! I don't think I will ever eat another breakfast burrito...well, I don't know if I would go that far :o) :o)
