Health TMI

My digestion is severely horked lately.

Yesterday I thought I was doing so much better on the appetite front. When I saw some doughnuts in the break room, I wanted a doughnut. I didn't want any of the three gazillion kinds that were actually present, so I didn't get one, but I figured thinking of doughnuts as appetizing at all was a good sign. Then I ate lunch -- late, to be sure, but I ate it, which is quite good. Then I spent a long time in the bathroom.

I thought, "Maybe that's the end of it; the last of the ickiness is gone."

Well. I ate dinner and that was a huge mistake. It's like I ate a cannonball... no, a caltrop! I still feel terrible. Caltrops are spiky, sharp, heavy, and really hard to digest.

Maybe it's a two-stage process: appetite returns first, then digestive system gets back in gear to deal with real food.
