I really thought the whole nutrition thing was improving...and I guess it is, but it's just a tough process. I am finally starting to get an appetite for actual food, not just snacks, but food. The problem is that I still feel sick every time I eat. I'm following orders and trying to eat regardless of how it makes me feel.
Today, my body retaliated. After eating only a few bites I stopped because I was feeling sick. Moments later I was in the bathroom throwing up. I suppose my body thought that wasn't enough because in the midst of that sickness blood started gushing from my nose and mouth. I've never had a nose bleed in my life. My stomach finally settled, but the gushing blood did not. It bled non-stop for fifty minutes (post stomach upset). I don't know much about nose bleeds, but I do know this isn't exactly normal. Now that it has stopped my head is hurting terribly. I feel like this could/must be related to my coumadin and INR level. Of course now it's Friday evening and the doctor's office is closed. I'm feeling kind of weak and tired so I'm just going to take it easy and hope this was a one time thing. All I can say for now is that I hate eating!
