I've stopped throwing up which I have been doing since the election.


and I was able to keep down a little chicken broth and a cracker.

But it was bad last night and early this morning. Nothing was in my stomach but I gagged and retched constantly. I blame Trump's election.

Now I will throw myself in the shower and try to refresh for the days of struggle ahead. But I'm old now and tired a lot. I won't give up tho...

I found the Festivus episode on Seinfeld and it raised my spirits, as Seinfeld always does. Poor Costanza, suffering his own father. Brilliant.

May you heal in the days ahead, Bravenak! We need you!

Maybe you should go to the doctor just to make sure you're ok, though.

hearing from patients throwing up. My nerve pain was intense over night and it has calmed down and I feel a bit better. I'm getting an implant on Jan. 4th to counteract the nerve pain. I can't wait...It's done in the short term surgery center at the hospital. It's outpatient so I 'll get home and can rest. I am looking forward to it ending this horrible pain...

I keep see sawing from normal disbelief in the surrealness of this whole thing to outright rage at how people could be so awful and stupid.

My hand is always on the remote ready to pull the trigger just in case I'm caught off guard. I did it for 8 years of Bush, so I can do it for however much time Trump's ugly face is shown.

I used a cane today to go to the supermarket but found I could just as easily lean onto the shopping cart...it was good to get out and get some fresh air.

Have you been in for a check-up? There are some medical conditions that can induce nausea. It would be best if you get yourself checked out just to be safe.

I'm really sorry the last couple months have been so wretched for you and you feel as poorly as you do.

Please do what you can to be well, and know that many of us out here are hoping you feel better soon.
