Meds

Sunday night was the worst night. My friend Karen came over Sunday afternoon with some food for me and the family. About an hour into her visit, I started feeling nauseous. That was it for me. I got sick soon after she left. I tried to get a little light food into me (cheerios, crackers, etc), but I couldn't keep anything in. I threw up four times between 4:00 and around 8:00pm. The problem was that I kept throwing up the pain meds, too. I was in so much pain from my knee and so much pain from my stomach that I was simply a wreck. I used as much ice on my knee that I could tolerate and tried to sleep. I woke up feeling a bit less nauseous at around 1:00 and finally got some food in my stomach. I waited about an hour and then took the percocet and I was okay after that.

RULE: NEVER take pain meds on an empty stomach! EVER!
