Stomach flu hit me on Monday and here it is Thursday and I'm thinking the symptoms have finally run their course.
I am so grateful that I have a husband who was able to pitch in and pick up the slack around here with teaching classes and dishes and food shopping etc.
He makes me feel like a movie star who's got a butler to wait on me hand and foot.
The only problem was that he went to work and I was left home alone shaking and doing the whole stomach flu thing.
He was so kind to give me his ear while I whined about fever, thowing up, head aches and feeling like I was going to die. I was so embarrased because I left him four messages at work yesterday in a whiney voice sounding so pathetic. I couldn't seem to control the urge to call back and leave another whiney message.
Hard to believe that I just spent four days with icky symptoms and not sleeping and just plain laying around and doing nothing.
I think this illness has passed.
I really feel for anyone out there who is down for the count.
This is as close as I've felt to wanting to die in a decade.
The head-pounding almost like a migraine hit me hard. I just don't do well fasting and
that's what I did since Monday, sips of water and gingerale.
Yesterday I finally ate some white rice, applesauce and the insides of a baked potato
ahhhhhhhhhhhh......
This past week my temperature went up and down and just when I thought I was going to be fine, pow, it hit me again kinda a like the eye of a hurricane and then the other side chrashes through.
I'm going to take the rest today off and rejoice that the pain and suffering is over. I'm weak and my rear end hurts from laying around and I don't want to really do anything but the good news is, it's all up from here.
