Okay, this won't make sense to most of you, so anyone who is not an emet doesn't need to read this
On Tuesday the 16th my mom had a doctor appointment at 10am. She called me around 8:30am and told me that she couldn't go because she was throwing up. I was worried that she had a stomach virus and that I would catch it, but I hadn't seen her since Saturday the 13th, so I thought I was probably okay. I was also supposed to go grocery shopping for them on the 16th but there was no way in hell I was going near there.
On Wednesday the 17th my mom was totally fine and said she thought it must have been something she ate that made her sick. Reluctantly, I went shopping for them and went over to their house to bring the groceries and help put them away and also visit. I'm pretty much the only person who can go shopping for them each week and they were out of food, so I really had no choice, but was pretty freaked out because if it WAS a stomach virus, I felt like I had a pretty good chance of
catching it. Also, that morning I'd felt nauseous and had dry heaves. I don't know if it was coincidence, anxiety, or a bit of what my mom had. But I ended up being okay.
Then yesterday (Thursday the 18th) I went over to my mom's in the evening and we did some shopping. I was with her for a few hours, up until about 9pm. For some reason I felt panicky at one point while I was out driving and held her hand until we got back to her house. I have no idea what brought that on, but for some reason I was feelingjittery for part of the night and I guess it caught up with me.
Anyway, I had to take my dad to get a blood test today (Friday, the 19th) at 10am. When I walked into my parents' house, my dad greeted me at the door and warned me that my mom was very sick again. He said she was throwing up, and she told me that she was very cold, nauseous, and had a slight headache. I talked to her around 1:30pm (an hour or so ago) and she said she is still feeling this way. She couldn't really talk to me when I was over, but when I called her she was able to talk for a bit and said that when she woke up, she thought the nausea was from hunger so she ate, and that was a 'bad idea,' and she'd been throwing up all morning and I guess was at least still feeling nauseated when I called her (I didn't ask if she was still throwing up).
So now of course my emet friends, I'm pretty freaked out. I thought my mom was okay since she was sick way back on Tuesday and I didn't catch anything, and then here I go yesterday not really being careful to wash my hands or take any precautions to make sure I didn't catch something and she's sick again.
What do you all think? I'm really nervous about eating for fear of puking it all up but I NEED to eat since I've been losing weight from my migraine medication. Could there be something wrong with her immune system or should I start to worry? I'm pretty freaked out right now.
Thanks for reading.
