As we all know I have been sick these past few days.

While moving my new 50" HDTV, I spontaneously puked this dark brown/black shit all over myself, rushing into the bathroom for round 2 of puking up the smelly, dark shit. The thing is, I consumed nothing at all dark today, aside from some diet soda nearly 9-10 hours ago. What was this stuff? Was it bile, or some sort of pure stomach acid? it had a bitter, kinda caustic smell, and upon tossing the second load of vomit, I felt extremely light-headed and have had to remain in bed.

So what was this mystery vomit? It is keeping me from setting up my tv.

sounds like bile.

Probably all that blood you drank from gashing your face open.

When you get sick does MAF or Drinky stop by with chicken noodle soup?

What kind of TV did you get? What made you change your mind?

drohne · « **Reply #6 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:20:18 AM »

oxidized blood?

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #7 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:25:55 AM »

Bile is usually green. Black vomit or black stool usually indicate lower Gastrointestinal problems. When the bleeding occurs lower in the GI system, the emitted blood is black because it has been processed by digestive juices. Have you ever had GI bleeding, TVC?

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #8 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:34:07 AM »

you MIGHT wanna consider a doctor if it keeps up, dude.

demi · « **Reply #9 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:35:20 AM »

Send me that TV before you go, though.

I think he should see one as soon as possible but TVC doesn't like paying visits to the doctor, iirc.

TVC you need to take care of yourself. Have you been eating your oatmeal? :'(

It was just after I was physically exerting myself, and for the record, it was more than I usually physically exert myself when I am not sick, so I am willing to bet I pushed myself just a little too far and my body threw out a warning flag. . .er, warning pint-to-quart of vomit. And since I hadn't eaten anything in a long time, and I was "empty," it just found something really unpleasant. What's a few more nasty stains on the carpet?

I had some sort of lower GI issue when I was an adolescent that required a doctor, but I don't even know what it was any more. I remember a really embarassing medical examination, though.

It's some sort of 720p Sony Wega. The only reason I got it was because of the price (500 bucks, lol). You can't pass up a deal like that.

In a lil bit I am going to try to get up to get some water or maybe an antacid because I am kinda generalised nauseous. I need to clean up my puddle. My cat keeps sniffing at it and I know if I pass out she is gonna eat that shit.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #13 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:42:34 AM »

Give me your address so I can send you some bottled water from the great lakes

TVC15 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:44:57 AM »

Fuck that, the only bottled water I drink is french, bitch.

I am out though I think, cry.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #15 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:48:57 AM »

Stay off the ETOH until you're feeling better, TVC.

TVC15 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:49:58 AM »

ETOH? Google says alcohol. I have not been drinking lately, for maybe the past 2 months.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #17 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:52:13 AM »

Yeah. You're well read so I thought you would know. Alcohol is definitely a no-no when you have GI problems.

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 21, 2007, 01:54:24 AM »

I'm not sure what it was when I was younger (I am thinking I was 10 or so), but being that it has not come up in the 16 years since, I am guessing it was nothing chronic or important, or it would have come up again. And from general looking at wiki, if it was a lower GI issue (I am fairly sure it was), I really doubt it would be having an effect on the content of my vomit.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #19 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:08:26 AM »

Sorry, TVC, I accidentally switched it around. Dark stool or vomit actually indicates upper GI bleeding because the blood has time to pass through the digestive tract. If the stool is red, that means it's lower GI bleeding because the blood didn't get processed by the digestive juices. So the vomitting is probably due to something other than the lower GI problems you had a long time ago.

TVC15 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:12:00 AM »

Getting my TV set up now isn't much of a priority. I can't find my 360 box (so no component cables) and I have no HDMI for my PS3. I would read no benefits of HD tonight, so I may as well just chill and try to clean up the nasty vomit.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #21 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:14:41 AM »

Do you still have PS2 component cables? They work with the PS3 too.

TVC15 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:16:56 AM »

Nope, and should you really be trying to give me more reasons to set up my new TV after having my tummy churn up a healthy serving of Mystery Pudding?

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #23 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:19:46 AM »

Sorry,bruh.

Go lie down and listen to some music.

TVC15 · « **Reply #24 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:21:05 AM »

I am lying down with my cat reading shit. I need to run to the store to get something to hydrate myself with, though.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #25 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:24:32 AM »

Apple juice is fine also. Stay away from Milk or Orange Juice though until you feel better.

TVC15 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:27:43 AM »

I'll probably go for gatorade. Or that water that has electrolytes in it. I have no idea if that actually does anything. Gatorade definitely recharges you when you feel shitty and dehydrated, though.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #27 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:28:59 AM »

Gatorade is good. Especially if you can't keep food down right now.

TVC15 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:31:16 AM »

The funny thing is that I remember when I used to get sick as a little kid, Gatorade would be like giving me a license to projectile vomit. It used to just make me throw up even more.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #29 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:35:04 AM »

I once had a surgery maybe 8-10 years ago and was throwing up blood a few hours after I was released. It was red but it was probably brought on by the anesthesia. I think they just gave me shitty hospital food for a night and an IV.

If you go to the doctor or even out in public, try carrying around a cup with you. You'll thank me.

TVC15 · « **Reply #30 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:37:39 AM »

The only time I have ever thrown up blood and not having it be related to a throat or mouth injury was one time when I was on PCP and I am not even sure if it really happened. It was in my (filled) kitchen sink in my apartment, so by the time I was no longer hallucinating, it was difficult to tell whether it happened or not.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #31 on:** September 21, 2007, 02:40:42 AM »

Only time I've ever thrown up blood is after getting kicked in the throat during a soccer game. I seriously thought I was dead

We lost 3-0

I was considering a picture, but I'm still in bed from after that episode. I think I am spent for the night.

TVC15 · « **Reply #35 on:** September 21, 2007, 05:06:39 PM »

I am feeling much better today. I am going to take another nap because I didn't get much sleep last night (I have been sleeping much of the past 3 days, so my schedule needs some recalibration), but I believe I just ate my first meal in 3 days that is going to stay entirely, 100% down. Hopefully I feel up to finishing the TV job in a bit.

you should try eating dry stuff. biscuits, the plain ones, or oatmeal or something.

Saltine crackers help a lot. You have to get your strength back up, so get some soup into your system - easy on the stomach, and loaded with the proper nutrients. Also, get some of those frozen fruit bars, they help get your energy going. Glad to hear you're feeling better.
