Okay, last night I was in bed, asleep, minding my own business, probably dreaming - I love dreaming. Then, all of a sudden, I felt it. It. That vile, disgusting regurgitation coming up my throat . . . in a big fat hurry. Like it had somewhere important to be. A party, or perhaps a job interview that it was late for. I sat up with a start. And sat there, making that kind of face that only a sour lemon . . . or vile bile . . . can evoke. Once it passed, I got up, brushed my teeth, popped a couple of Tums, and went back to bed. Sitting up . . . Afraid . . . Very afraid . . . of the vile bile that might make a return visit.
Random thoughts of a girl who used to try to fit in the box. Then I realized that boxes are stupid. Except this box, the one above. It's really pretty.
That happens to me a lot if I eat late.
ReplyDeleteIt is awful!
It was disgusting! Ick. Gross.
Deletethat sounds unpleasant ...
ReplyDeleteYes, very unpleasant, Daryl :)
DeleteBless your heart. I know exactly what you mean. I've had a hiatal hernia and GERT for many years, so chronic indigestion has been a way of life for me. (If you have the problem often, you should check with your doctor.)
ReplyDeleteFortunately, I've only had it happen a couple of times. Knock on wood. It's gross!!
DeleteI feel your pain...and discomfort! I can't tell if I feel nauseous from being overtired, or overtired because of the yucks! That good old chalky goodness of tums!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't feel yukky or overtired or nauseous for long, Andrea!
DeleteThat's no fun (to say the least). Hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dana :)
Deleteseems like everyone knows what you are talking about Judy..; reasurring and unfortunate
ReplyDeletehope you will have a splendid and good night, here almost time for bed
Sweet dreams, Anni :)
DeleteThat's starting to happen to me more and more too. :( Except mine's like a stuck burp or something. Not comfy. Thank you for the reminder to put Tums on my grocery list.
ReplyDeleteAnytime . . .need milk too? bread?? haha
DeleteI never thought a post about vile bile could be almost poetic. Nice, Judy. (:
ReplyDeleteAn ode to bile :)
DeleteUgh, I hate it when that happens. Nothing takes the burning taste away.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely hate worthy :)
DeleteI understand it's part of aging. Keep an eye on it and if it gets to happening more and more you'll want to do more than just take some tums after it happens.
ReplyDeleteoh dear...doesn't sound too fun. hope tonight is a blissful sleep!
ReplyDeleteThanks :). But I'm keeping the tums handy :)
DeleteI love dreaming too. Lately I have been dreaming about several things, but they all leave me feeling like I am in a bunch of trouble. Not at all sure of what that means, but it hasn't stopped me from wanting to dream.
ReplyDeletehaha! A bunch of trouble, huh? Hmmm, I'd like to be in one of your dreams to see what's going on!
DeleteAge, stress, spicy food...we can all relate, but I agree with Susan...if it continues...tell your Doc.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say 2 out of 3, but dang it! all three apply!!
