It’s been ages since I’ve had any strain of the Flu, so I was overdue for one, and hoo boy, I gots me a doozie!
fever ranging from 99.8 to 101.2
severe stomach cramps (you know that scene in Alien when John Hurt has the Xenomorph burst out of his stomach ) yeah, kinda’ like that, I couldn’t find a comfortable position to rest in, laying on my back hurt, on my side hurt, leaning against a table was the only marginally comfortable position, and only for a few minutes at a time…
oh yes, and the vomiting…
I’ve been “worshiping the Porcelain Og” since midnight of last night, midnight to 5 AM, non-stop vomiting, I could barely keep water down
At least my co-workers were understanding, thank Og, I’ve taken a sick day, which is rare for me, but I need the rest, and I don’t want to infect my co-workers with this thing
as of 12:30, I still am feverish (99.3), but at least the pain is essentially gone, more or less, I’ve been pounding down water, alka-seltzer helps too, but even thinking about food makes me nauseous (No, Russ, stop thinking about Twinkie-Wiener-Sandwiches, oog, there I go again, time to visit the Porcelain Og…)
hopefully, i’ll have this thing under control by tomorrow, I don’t want to have to take any more sick days (even though I have a bunch of them banked)
Mods, feel free to move this thread where you see fit, it’s not Pit worthy, MPSIMS seemed the best fit to me, but what do I know, I’m all feverish and oogy right now
