Yea, Kristin! Best wishes for cool nights and days!

Sorry you're feeling crummy, sj.

I will probably be up for a little while yet, but mostly because I've been a slug today. TV viewage has been accomplished, but not a whole lot else. I hope to go through enough paperwork to throw out a couple of bags of trash, got a start cataloging my church's new library on LibraryThing, and did a load (hopefully two before I crash) of laundry. I hope that counts for something even though I never took a shower or went outside farther than the mailbox.

I don't trust the new AC yet, I have every expectation that we will get back to K's place and it will have removed itself from the wall and have busied itself chasing the cats about the apartment.

If it does, take pictures.

This pain will not going away. It never usually lasts this long. I still have to finish an online exam (which I was planning on doing when the pain started), pack for the weekend, pick up stuff for my cousin's graduation party and leave for the party by 1 tomorrow. Need sleep. t /whine

I'm sorry you're still feeling crummy, sj. Can you take anything for it? Do you have other symptoms other than the stomach pain?

I am currently drinking water and eating tums are various intervals. A coke would really help, but we're all out. Damn that trying to eat healthier thing. There are no other symptoms, and these symptoms are familiar enough that I know exactly what the problem is, just with added length of time this time.

I assume you don't have something with simethicone (Phazyme, Gas-X). If that is the problem, so you have a massager (for real - the vibrations can help). Walking can help too, but sometimes it hurts too much too. Or, feel free to ignore the advice, as I'm not a medical professional of any type, and just take my heartfelt sympathy.

so sorry sj. wishing you non acid and for you to find a hidden stock of over the counter meds to take at perscription strenght. ( like pepcid)

we had breakfast at the cafe. went to the alameda county fair ( I saw a horse race for the first time) We came home - were thinking mellow thoughts - but we got a call - let's gather. so now it is one am . god bless wine and salt 'n' pepper potato chips.

Bwah!

Okay, that image is going to make me giggle for days.

I don't have Gas-X (but I will be buying some after today) or a massager. I am alternating between walking, sitting, and curling up in the fetal position.

sj, if it doesn't get better, please go to the ER. My mom had pain like that last year, and it ended up being a twist in her bowels. It resolved itself, but it took two days on an IV in the hospital.

I'm not saying that's what you have, but if it is, no walking or Gas-X will help. So please take care of you, okay?
