I spent most of my day today… in the bathroom.
I did finally manage to eat something around 2pm and felt worse again afterwards. Around 4pm I drove myself out to CVS and bought Immodium. By 6pm I was having horrible abdominal cramps. By 8pm I felt much better and was able to eat a small meal in front of Dancing with the Stars.
My weight’s been creeping up and up but I am SO going to see a loss on the scale tomorrow. Even though I didn’t exercise at all today, I feel like I’m wrung out. Ugh, I hate feeling sick.
I did get a chance today to work on the website. Lukas has been doing some interesting things with the tables and I’ve been coming after him and choosing styles and colors. I really like today’s change to the “Group Chatter” table. It looks more like comments to a blog now than a table. He did good!
Yesterday, Hubby and Kevin and I went to the park to play. We started out by playing “baseball.” Oh that’s in quotes because it wasn’t really baseball, it was “Kevin-pitches-while-Hubby-hits-and-Eileen-goes-and-gets-the-balls.” Then it was “Hubby-pitches-while-Kevin-hits-and-Eileen-goes-and-gets-the-balls.” Then, finally, it was my turn to hit. I missed the first pitch and just got a *piece* of the second one, and it felt like my arm exploded! It hurt so bad that I actually cried, which horrified my husband. (I totally expected him to yell, “There’s no crying in baseball!! LOL!!)
I didn’t hit any more baseballs. I knew I had a touch of tennis elbow, but I didn’t think it was all that bad. Except when you combine tennis elbow with the shock and vibration of hitting a baseball with an aluminum bat - well, let’s just say it hurts a bit. A freakin’ LOT.
So I spent a half-hour walking around the outfield, retrieving their hits - and then we switched to tennis. Now I know it’s probably not a good idea to aggravate a tennis elbow injury more by playing more tennis, but it’s just so fun! And it didn’t really hurt that much. Well, it didn’t make me cry, anyway. We played for a full hour and Hubby didn’t even want to quit then. He liked it a lot!

Awww I’m sorry you hurt yourself, maybe take it easy for a day?
I hope you feel better! Sickness is definitely NO fun.
But hooray for the baseball - being the ball fetcher is a great idea!
BTW, thanks for commenting on my blog. I really appreciate it!
Hope you’re feeling better. Like I commented on the w8challenge page, we would’ve laughed at the idea of us being the go-get-em girl in the past but nowadays we don’t mind having a reason to move around.
Take it easy, heal, get better.
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Take care of that elbow, you don’t want to permanently injure it!
Hi Eileen,
