it must have been the mujadara

Thursday night I was up all night vomiting. Literally all night. I think I had food poisoning. I haven’t thrown up in years. I hate hate hate throwing up. We went out to dinner with S’s parents to this Mediterranean restaurant that we go to frequently, and I got my favorite thing, mujadara fattouch. The restaurant is a little sketchy, but we go there all the time and have never had any issues. I had hummus, mujadara, and a bite of S’s falafel. No one else got sick. S had a few bites of my food, but he was fine. The only thing I can think is that my immune system is compromised (perhaps from the miscarriage?) and I was just susceptible to food borne disease. It was awful. Absolutely awful. Poor S was so worried. He awoke to me screaming for help from the bathroom. He took very good care of me and cleaned up some not so pretty things. He later told me that the sounds I made while throwing up will haunt him forever.

Of course my sickness coincided with the biggest snowstorm we’ve had this year. We happened to have some saltines, but no gatorade or anything for me to drink. I was so dehydrated. Later the next day, I finally sent S to the store to get sickness provisions once the roads were somewhat cleared. I’m feeling a lot better today, but still very weak and exhausted. Does anyone know if a bout of food poisoning or a stomach bug will keep follicles from growing? The first thing I thought was shit, my body won’t be focusing on growing eggs now. Am I wasting all this follistim? I’m dehydrated, exhausted, in pain, and stressed out. It can’t be a good thing when you hurt your back throwing up!

In follistim news, the past two nights I have clicked one notch higher on the pen. Oops. Just one notch. I have an ultrasound and bloodwork on Monday.
