Carrie and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

The Queen of Nausea

[Shannon again here:]  This was not a very good day.  The jaw pain last night was more severe than it had been in the last few days, so Carrie tried a stronger pain medication her doctor had prescribed for her for “bad pain.”  The first dose went well; the second dose also went well….until waking up at 7 am.

Then the nausea ride began – and continued well into mid-afternoon.  This is the kind of nausea that turns your guts inside-out (or so it feels) and leaves you feeling helpless and sick as a dog.

It seems this was a case of taking too strong a medication, which toxed Carrie’s system.  (This trait is common amongst all the Bagley kids.)

With ministrations from loving friends and various remedies used over the span of the entire day, what began as a terrible, endless day of nausea torture turned into a pretty good evening!

By early evening, Carrie had passed through the worst, ate 2 scrambled eggs, chased by lentil soup.

Scrambled eggs!

Good going, Carrie.  I think we’ve turned a corner!
