Vileness coming from both ends.
48-72 hours in duration. Contagious.
Dad had it before me.
Mom ain’t got it yet.
Total lethargy, except for violent need to run to potty.
Didn’t start feeling better until I vomited up eeeeverything in my tummy.
Beware, stock up on Pepto (or better), & wash yer freakin hands.
It’s already made it’s way to Kodiak. I caught it from a friend, who has caught it again. Trips to the E.R. for phenergan injections, which are almost as bad as the virus. Sitting on the john while holding a bucket between one’s knees really bites.
Just a warning, when you are able to eat again, take it slow. Get lots of rest, this flu has people admitted (here) to the hospital due to dehydration.
Just to update (because I know everyone’s been waiting on pins and needles), I got hit with it Thursday afternoon. While the turkey was cooking but before I’d eaten anything.
I ate some of the turkey, but can’t bring myself to eat anymore because it was the last thing I ate before the, er, serious distress hit.
Slept most of the day yesterday. Did some running around today with errands I needed to get done, and now I’m ready to sleep some more.
Luckily, the distress has mostly given way to exhaustion.
My family is probably lucky I stayed in Ohio instead of heading to TN for the holiday.
