Lunch today was the first “real” meal I’ve eaten since breaking the fast. I stopped by an Indian restaurant in Augusta. I loaded my plate, but could only eat about a third of it. I had to chew some Pepto Bismol tablets afterward, and decided to pass on eating out this evening.
I found the restaurant while looking for someplace to eat vegan on the road. I also researched vegan restaurants near the hotel and place of work. Preparation is essential.
I ended up out thinking myself, perhaps. The hotel room has a kitchenette. More, in a huge stroke of luck, there is a huge farmer’s market a stone’s throw from the hotel. I could have brought the juicer after all. Though I was worn out from the road, I popped over and picked up some fresh fruits and vegetables, along with some seeds and dried fruit that I can use to carry in case I get caught in the wrong place during the week.
Actually I had picked up some prepackaged trail mix with walnuts, dried apricots and cherries. I started taking my medications again a couple of days ago, including the insulin. On the road I became light headed, and thought I was running low blood sugar, and took some glucose tablets. I stopped at a pharmacy to get some more, where I picked up the trail mix for something substantial to eat.
It turns out the Coreg was the culprit. I’m cutting it out this week until I get through the first week on the job. When I restart, it will be at much lower dosage.
