After demonstrating my incredible grace by falling out of the bus, the week just got better. Grin. Here’s a little health update – again, probably as much for my own record keeping as anything else.
Tuesday night I had a really bad night. I got sick to my stomach and threw up several times. Once you’ve done that once, and you still feel yucky in the tummy, it’s hard to go back to sleep again for fear you’ll do it again. Trust me – there’s not much worse than cleaning up your own vomit. YUCK!
Wednesday morning I slept through my alarm and missed the bus. I still felt a bit queasy, but my tummy always feels a bit off in the morning. Usually, by the time I take a shower and get dressed, it’s better. No such luck. I ended up staying home with a fever, muscle aches and tummy that was having trouble even keeping my medication down.
By Wednesday night I felt somewhat better – not great, but better. Thursday I went to work and felt pretty good in the morning, but crappy in the afternoon.
Today I still don’t feel “right.” I feel better, but extremely tired and sort of weak.
I thought it was the flu, but Donna thinks it’s a stomach bug. I wonder if it could have anything to do with the bacteria they’re testing my small bowel for next week? I don’t know if that’s possible or not. I just know this week hasn’t been so great.
But, I do feel like I’m on the upward swing…..I didn’t have a fever yesterday, although I think I may have had one at work this morning. I just broke out sweating from head to toe, and no one else was hot.
