Was it The Chicken?
The endoscopy went well; everything is looking good. The probem was, I didn't eat enough yesterday. I missed breakfast, had a light lunch, and of course couldn't eat anything later because of the endoscopy. I only took in a tad over 800 calories yesterday.

Today I was famished, but couldn't eat or drink anything until after the endoscopy, which took till noon. Instead of waiting to get home to eat, we decided to grab somethig at a Casey's when we filled up with gas. Popcorn chicken sounded good along with some cheese and potato balls.

They were pretty good, for gas station food, and with the honey mustard dip, I enjoyed them. It also put food in me, which also helped—for a little while. About fifteen minutes after eating, however, my stomach and lower abdomen began to ache and cramp. The rest of the ride home was miserable, and once home, I made a mad dash for the bathroom.

By this time, I was feeling miserable and decided to lie down for a while. I don't know how long I dozed in a kind of half-sleep, half-awake state. I do know that all of a sudden, I felt very nauseated and had to get up and take some anti-nausea medication. It did it's job and the nausea soon passed, but then the sweating started. Not just a little sweating, I was dripping and soaked. I also felt like I was burning up.

My wife checked my temperature; no fever. But soon after the sweating and overheating started, I felt chilled. I'm still chilled to the bone and cannot get warm. In short, my abdomen aches, I have no energy, and I'm freezing. Not just feeling cold, my body is also cold.

I assume it was something with the food, but my wife thinks it my be a reaction to the endoscopy I had today. She ate the same foods as I did from Casey's, and she didn't have any problems.

I'm going to try and get my stuff done in here, but I may just shut down and return to bed. Hopefully, I can keep up my streak before I do.
