well....... do i ever feel loved!!!!! thank you all so much for your concern. kathyG called me from Holland (WoW...thanks kathy)...emails...PM's....FB posts...

I am still not 100% but feelin better....just had to say ..YOU ARE ALL ONE HELL OF A FAMILY!!!

Quick story.... Started puking then poopin..then sittin on toilet while puking in bucket...I thought it was just a flu...NOT...after 24 hrs my BP dropped way low...like 78/52. Went to Urgicare..THEY called an ambulance to take me to hospital. Ended up I had food poisoning (no idea what from) and was horribly dehydrated. They fixed that in a day and a half.... then all the poopin started again...bad. Culture showed a viral bowel infection and potassium REAL low from so much poopin. So they treated me for that until today. I told them I had to go home today cause it's my birthday and my kids were preparing me a dinner of all the "new" organic/healthy stuff I had started eating...JUST FOR ME....couldn't miss that. they let me check out but were not agreeing because they said I am still poopin and dehydration is probable. I took the chance. we will see. Sometimes you just have to say screw it.

Gotta go..... and I mean that in a poopin way...LOL

take care..luv to you all

    So very glad you are home to celebrate, but you take care with that dehydration problem.

    Hope you feel beter and better each day and that the 'healthy stuff' helps you get all that poopin under control.

    So glad you're home & happy birthday to you!
    Jennie,

    You crack me up! I hope that your birthday dinner was a good one and I'm glad you're over your horrible experience (I hope that you are, anyway).
    Take care of yourself and keep yourself hydrated & probably should take potassium supplements or eat lots of bananas.

    Keep in touch & let us know how you are-
