It will come back to haunt you

Last night's dinner. Absolutely delicious General Tso's chicken. Mmmmmm. I was craving it, and paid the consequence for it - heart burn, indigestion, upset stomach.



4:00am - Wake up with terrible pain right below my sternum. I can barely walk to the kitchen to suck down some Pepto Bismal.



4:30am - I wake Michael up to go get me some stronger drugs. Still in knife-stabbing pain and nausea.



5:15am - Michael gets back from Walmart with Tums, Rolaids, and Maalox and pours them next to me on the couch. The tums won. I took four (4).



5:45am - After several phone calls to our parents on what we should do I started feeling relief.



6:00am - I'm passed out in exhaustion from the fight.



A few pointers I would like to make: If you're pregnant don't eat anything spicy right before you go to bed. Try to walk off your meal before you lay down. Elevate your upper body when you go to bed to keep the acid in the lower part of your stomach. Keep your medicine cabinet well stocked with heart burn relief medications so you don't have to drag your husband into your pain and sleeplessness (Michael, I love you so much! Thank you for enduring with me!). Please take every opportunity to thank the Lord for your husband.

For I am in a time of life when things change around me. Everything I own or think I have control over I must lay before my Father's feet: my education, my body, my place of residence, my husband, my children.
