I was really ill yesterday and especially last night, lots of vomiting etc (sorry tmi)
We live abroad and it’s extremely hot, we don’t drink the tap water here.
The bedroom was a real mess this morning-sick bucket full, duvet yucky, he quietly said my name to wake me up and that he was going to work.
I feel horrendous, so weak and there’s zero water and drinks. I’m trying to set up
a delivery service to see if they can deliver
Does anyone think this is a bit shitty to leave me with no drinks. Feel so dehydrated

This. A couple of posters upthread made the same mistake, telling OP she was drinking too much water. Kidney stones are caused by not drinking enough water and small stones can be effectively passed by drinking enough to flush them.

I don’t know about ‘caused’ by — I seem to have inherited a tendency to get them from my father. But it’s true that I had my worst ever attack when DS was a small baby and I probably wasn’t looking after myself well or drinking enough. What I mainly remember was, after I’d had a shot of painkiller and was waiting for a scan, that I hoped they would keep me in overnight even if it was only on a trolley in the corridor. DS wasn’t a sleeper…

That was almost 15 years ago and I still remember the name of the doctor who gave me a shot of strong painkiller.

@Blueberries0761 @Footballscominghomehey thznks both for asking after me. Still feel awful to be honest. Was still being sick on Tuesday morning. Didn’t eat anything on Tuesday and barely kept fluids down. Haven’t been sick today but am weak and dizzy. Haven’t eaten until a slice of toast a couple of hours ago and feel really nauseous again. I’ve lost 3kg though 😁

Sending get well wishes to you both @Footballscominghomehey and @JulietteHasAGun , that you recover your strength quickly

I know only too well that sick, exhausted, dizzy feeling you're left with after a flare up of illness.

Take care and get plenty of rest💐

She said she ‘dran 3 bottles of water last night’ ? 250ml bottle. ?500ml bottles. ?1500ml bottles If she lives somewhere that tap water is undrinkable then they were probably 5litre bottles… that’s what made her vomit! If it’s true!

It was 3 1.5l bottles.

I have no idea how a couple can have such little water in the house. It just makes no sense.

OP said upthread that she is the one responsible for shopping so if she was out of action clearly the supplies haven’t been replenished.
