Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC
Thanks, Min! I started slow on the tea yday, then upped my intake this morning. After I was feeling like I wouldn't go again soon I did some gatorade-- great for electrolytes, but a little hard on the tummy. I toasted an english muffin about an hour ago (I was really shakey so I knew I needed food) and that's sitting pretty well for the moment. I don't want to try and more food until I pee next, though; if I pee and don't have another bout of D, then that's the all clear to try some chicken broth and saltines!
Ugh, cramps are the worst! You have my sympathy (and empathy!!). Do you have iron supplements for the anemia? Iron tabs are really hard on my stomach, I hope you have better luck with them. I cruise the Crohn's & Colitis board sometimes when I'm in pain to get a dose of other people's reality. It's extremely sobering and makes me all the more thankful for my good days.
How's work going, btw? I saw on the news there was a shooting/stabbing at the Ascot Lounge on 17th and L Sts. next door to where I used to work and I became nostalgic for the DC scene (weird, huh?).
Oooo, I don't want to seem anxious, but I really want to call the pharmacy and see if the doc's approved the early refill. I'm going to check my email and take my mind off of it...!

Hey Min!
