To make a long story short: I just got out of the hospital. ODed on acetaminophen for the fourth time, but this time my body decided to be stupid and randomly make my liver enzymes go up for no reason (it the liver does this it will usually do it gradually, but mine did it all at once after a couple of days). I had to have the whole acetaminophen antidote over again. Not to mention that for two days I was so nauseous that I was throwing up small amounts of foods, so I was on a forced fast -- and forced fasts really aren't pleasant, especially because I wasn't drinking liquids either. They had to keep a saline IV in me to keep me hydrated, and yesterday they added potassium to the IV because I hadn't been able to eat enough to get it back up myself. Today, however, the bloodwork came back improved and they let me go home.

Having eaten relatively normally for the last two days, and not weighed myself since Saturday morning (or was it Friday morning?), I am a little terrified about what I'm going to see on that scale when I get on it tomorrow, plus now I've got to work myself back down to restricting levels again. Argh. Double pain in the ass, that. But never mind. I will do it. I vowed to get to at least 120, and get to at least 120 I will! :)
