Here is a whine blog:
I am sick. I have the worst stomach bug of any I can recall in my whole life. I can't move for fear of setting off another round of vomiting. I can't avoid moving as I have (TMI here folks) explosive diarrhea and must dash to the toilet. My stomach isn't just nauseated, it hurts. I feel like I have been turned inside out from such severe vomiting. And last evening, I had 8 spells of severe vomiting in less than 4 hours. I got some sleep last night, but did have to get up to vomit more and dash to the potty more.
Ugh, ugh, ugh.
This particular bug, I picked up at work. Over half our department's staff has had it over the last few weeks, with evidently, more folks getting it. Clearly it is highly contagious, even with all the hand washing, hand sanitizing and glove wearing we do. My concern is that dh and Nature Boy will get it too. <sigh>
So, here I lay on the couch, feeling miserable and biding my time until the next bathroom run.

I am so sorry to hear that you are so sick. Don't forget to keep drinking something, even if you are throwing it up - you don't want to get dehydrated or you'll end up in the hospital with IVs.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I don't know how long it lasts with your circle, but in ours (we all shared it the weekend before Christmas) it was over in a day - about 6-8 hours of vomiting, then the kids slept, and the adults got a fever and couldn't move for 8-12 hours.. and then woke up feeling like nothing bad had ever happened. I hope your recovery is as speedy! You know you're sick when you're home and don't even feel like knitting. You are forgiven for the lack of pictures in this blog post.
(((Hugs))) Sounds horrible! Have your hubby heat you up some chicken broth! Drink as much as you can. Sounds like the whole thing has really turned your system for a loop! Has anyone from work ended up in the hospital from it?
