i feel forsaken
i finally called my ob this afternoon - but he is gone, and the partner covering for him has not called me back. i'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt; i know, unlike my ob who returns calls between appointments, many doctors return their calls at the end of their day, after their clinical hours. but at 7:25 on a friday night, i don't hold out much hope.
i think my problem is two-fold. i have this viral infection, and then the super-duper extra-nifty zofran comes in and turns my intestines to mush. my 24 hour incontinence returned a few hours after i took my second zofran this morning (after the obligatory and forcible removal of my breakfast - the tater tots were awful and i gave them to justin, but i ate the better part of a cheese and egg croissanwich), in a pattern almost identical to when i took the first one wednesday.
i just can't make any more decisions about my healthcare. i can't decide what to try to eat or drink or when. i can't decide whether i have enough time to try to run for the bathroom. i can't decide which anti-nausea medicine to try. i need someone else to take over. justin did that this afternoon when he called my ob and handed the phone to me, but there's only so much he can do. i want my coma, dammit.

So are you saying the Zofran is making the incontinence worse? Oh Laura, you're buggered if you do, you're buggered if you don't.
If you have some other anti-nausea drugs left maybe try them for a day or two and see if the diarrhea settles in response.
I'm so sorry you are so sick. This seems way beyond what you can just wait out though. For your own sake I mean. Tadpole will be fine. I lost 3 stone in 6 weeks with my first pg and she came out fine and large. But you still need a break for your own good:( Stupid lazy OB. I am so hoping it turns around very quickly now. I hate to think of you having to wait until Monday for help:(
Take care Kid.
Laura - I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. It's like you can't win. You've got to find something that works soon...can you really go on like this??!! I hope you find a little relief this weekend and hopefully your OB will call you back.
Holly
It's the next day here and just checking in to see how you are. Hope things have improved:)
