Thanks, S t a c i! Thankfully, we're on fall break this weekend, so won't
be going back to work until Tuesday. My nose should be back to normal by
then.

Well, I don't think I have to worry too much about the birthday cake I
ate
yesterday. It all came back up about later, thanks to the stomach flu.

But this was after I had taken a nice hot bath to get rid of the flu
'aches.' After getting up to dry myself off, I passed out and ended up
on
the bathroom floor with DH rushing into the room and blood pouring from
my
nose from where I'd popped it. Then, I tried to get back up gradually
from
my knees and passed out again, this time bumping the back of my head on
the
wall behind me (don't ask me how I bumped the BACK of my head from being
on
my knees.) It was a scary time for all of us. I was so freaked out
because
I've never had that happen to me before!

DH wanted to call an ambulance since he was sure I'd broken my nose, but
I
assured him that I didn't think it was broken (I could press, rub, etc.,
on
it and it didn't hurt), and I told him that the combination of barely
eating
anything all day, the extra sugar in the birthday cake, a pain pill I'd
taken for the flu 'aches,' and the hot bath were what caused me to pass
out.

I'm okay this morning. My neck muscles hurt and my nose is swollen, but
I'll live.

Yikes! Bad combo! Glad you're feeling better...your post reminded me of
when I went off plan when I was about a month into LC by eating two peanut
butter cookies. I nearly passed out (I made it to the couch and slept it
off.) Now, that was just a couple of cookies...not the flu, not pain
pills,
not lack of food. Makes me agree with you that the sugar in your birthday
cake was a contributing factor! I think we can get really sensitive to
sugar when we're not eating it regularly.

Now, get yourself an ice pack for that nose.
