I'm feeling OK most of the time. Not ever really great, but OK. My routine right now is to eat a small breakfast right when I wake up just to get something in my stomach. Then about an hour later I need a second breakfast to really fill up my belly and then I can usually just snack until lunch. Once I eat a good lunch I feel better until about 5 or 6 pm then the queasiness hits me again.
I am still super tired and haven't done any yard work for over a month. I do try to keep the house somewhat clean but really it is the last thing I want to do. I have figured out though that keeping up on dishes are a must. One morning I was doing dishes that were left out from the night before. The dried up food on the plate was hard to handle. I tried to soak it and scrape it off looking the other way and holding my breath but it still got to me and it did not end well.
Smells are hard. For about a week now I can hardly stand to be in any bathroom because it smells overwhelmingly like "toilet water." The worst was when someone left a dirty diaper in the garbage can at work. I had to ask a fellow employee to remove it for me so I could walk down the hall without gagging. One day I made the mistake of putting leftover bread ends in a grocery bag in the pantry (I usually keep my bread in the fridge) with the intention of taking my little boy to a local park to feed the ducks. I forgot all about it and so for a few days I would gag every time I opened the pantry door and was so puzzled as to why it smelled. Finally I was brave enough to hunt down the source of the problem. I found the bread in the bag. It was perfectly fine but it just had a warm bread smell that I didn't like. We went to the park that very night.
There was another incident at work when I had to excuse myself from my patient so I could run to the bathroom and throw up. Not a good day.
