I made a NICE dinner for us and we planned to just stay home and watch movies that we rented and then go across the street to the beach at midnight and watch the fireworks from the Spaceneedle. Well, we had a wonderful dinner....(totally NOT IBS safe but I have been stable so I gave it a go)....good news is that I did not have any attacks at all....but poor Shane got sick to his tummy (but he was already not really feeling well BEFORE dinner). At about 11:20pm he was throwing up.... he was HOPING it would make him feel better, but no luck. We toasted at midnight with a glass of sparkling cider and watched the fireworks on TV w/the countdown. About 12:15am or so he got sick again.... We watched another movie and then we went to bed poor Shane was up another 3-4 times getting sick.... around 5am he was up and getting water to drink in the kitchen when he heard this BOOM/POP and a flash of blue light... I yelled from the bedroom..."are you ok?" he said, "yes..." I was already out of bed and in the hallway when he says, " we have a fire!!" We both grabbed fire extinguisher (we have 2 of them)...Shane got to it first and put it out.... It was the ceiling fan above the stove that I had turned on when making dinner... it must have started to fail last night because neither of us even realized it was still on... then who knows what happened. So, I will call and report it tomorrow since it IS New Years Day. I just finished washing all the dishes that were on the stove when the fire was put out... it made one hell of a mess. Anyway, back to poor Shane... he still got sick one more time and also had "D"... he finally got some sleep and then about 7am he woke up screaming with a nasty leg cramp.... I KNOW how to help with those... so I got him relaxed, got him up to stretch and gave him so more water and tucked him (and myself) back into bed....we woke up about 9am. Shane is still on the couch wrapped in my comfy blanket that I use when I have an attack.... he requested some eggbeaters about 11am and so far so good....
So, here's looking to a better day and year... hope this is NOT what 2005 will be like....
