Dehydration = IVs

I had a big scare this weekend and landed in the Emergency Room! On Saturday, I thought I was suffering from a really bad hang over after a night in Georgetown watching a movie and grabbing drinks with Sister. As the day progressed, I got worse. I could not keep anything down! I kept throwing up whatever entered my mouth. I tried to metro home but once I changed to the red line at Chinatown, my body started shaking and I felt like I was going to pass out. After thinking food would be the cure, I hopped off the metro and headed to McDonald's. After one bite of a french fry caused me to throw up, I headed to Starbucks for a smoothie and water. Again, I couldn't keep it down. Once Kevin got to me, I was shaking and freezing. I felt nauseated and light headed so we headed to the ER. After 3 hours and 2 IV bags, I found out I had a gastro-intestinal bug. Yuck! Talk about coincidental timing!

After medication and lots and lots of sleep, I can happily report that I am feeling much better!
