-- 2:44a  Managed to get out of bed; Sugar: 179
Earlier, I tried to look at clock and my eyes were moving back and forth
although I didn't feel the type of dizzy vertigo I've had in the past.
Managed to flip over at that time.
--   2:50a  Sitting in recliner, sipping water
--   3:45a  Vomited again
--   4:40a  Attempt to go back to bed
--   7:08a  Up:  I don't think I got any sleep;  Sugar: 180
--   7:32a - 8:03a  Talked to Carla
--   8:40a  I was going to go back to bed but I vomited again
--   8:55a - 9:10a  Talked to nurse at DMG Immediate Care
but the offices closer to my house cannot treat my problem and I didn't want to
travel as far as their ones that can.  She suggested not-DMG immediate care
but they wouldn't have my records.
~~  Called a few immediate care centers but didn't feel comfortable with any of them.
-- 10:04a - 10:42a  Talked to Jeri
-- 10:50a  Leaving for Good Sam

Had to wait in the waiting room for a while and then asked for emesis bag.
Receptionist had to look through several drawers and found it with seconds to spare.
Gagged into it it a few times.  There was very little left in my stomach.
Eventually, I was brought in and nurse hooked me up.
-- 12:00p  Doctor came in.  Gave me anti-nausea in IV.
-- 12:40p  They gave me 4 crackers & ginger ale  
--   1:10p  They released me.  The nurse seemed anxious to have me leave even
though I wasn't feeling very good.  I headed to washroom but didn't make it in time.
~~  When I arrived at car, I vomited
--   1:48p  Arrived at CVS but the pharmacy dept was closed for lunch
--   2:05p  Home;  Plopped into recliner with zero energy;  Realized I left cellphone in car
but didn't have the energy to get it;  I also didn't have the energy to check my answering machine
so I had to listen to it beep every 30 secs.
--   4:10p  Managed to get up and listen to robo-call message then got undressed and flopped 
into bed.  A min later, there was a phone call that I didn't answer and now the machine was beeping again.
--   6:15p  Used toilet, Jeri called
--   6:50p  Hung up while she continued on hold with pharmacy

- 7:15p  Carla called to say Jeri's coming
--   8:30a  Jeri & Joel arrived after they picked up my anti-nausea Rx, plus crackers & Gatorade.
-- 10:00p  Took first sip of Gatorade and immediately vomited,
But then was able to sip a few ounces
-- 10:20p  Bed
