Day 7

Hello everyone. Missed yesterday, but glad to be able today. I think I came down with what Kay had yesterday. Did not feel real great Sunday, but yesterday was worse. Did not feel good all day. After laundry, Kay suggested that I go up and lay down for a while. I did for a while, but then had a gut wrenching experience. Down on hands and knees paying homage to the throne. I could not imagine one stomach could possible hold so much liquid. All night up and empty, back for a short nap and then back again. The first time was the most painful experience I think I have ever had. Not only the pain from retching, but it was like someone had taken a molten knife and ripped me from lower abdomen up to my chest. Shook Kay up when she heard me scream. But since then, have not had much pain from the operation. Poor Kay, recovering from her own bout and having to baby me during mine. It was the first illness that I have had in 7 or 8 years and the first time I have had such an upset stomach. Have no idea what it was, but Kay and I both had basically the same symptoms. Fortunately we both didn't come down at the same time.
Kay is much better today and working on her bears again. I've been up twice now, some jello and 7up both times. Feeling stronger this time up. May have some soup or something later. Still very weak, but stomach is more settled.

Ed, Kay, & Sam
