Those of you who read Will's entry a week ago about tactical nuclear stomach flu, he wasn't exaggerating. Those of you who didn't, all I'll say is I'm not sure I've ever been that sick. It hit Sunday night; Monday morning was the worst, and by Tuesday I was mobile again, if sluggish and tending to nap. Today I'm almost feeling normal, though trying to take it easy. I'm definitely not going home for Christmas, though, because there is no way I'm going to get near my aging parents while I still may be contagious. I'll wait here until the weekend. Thanks Bhadrika for advice, and thanks especially Will for bringing me rehydration foods on Monday.

Meanwhile, friendly phone conversations would be eagerly welcomed...

Meep. ::hugs:: I'll give you a ring when my phone has batteries again. In the meantime, I'm going to take some echinasea. I don't need a stomach flu for Christmas.

Bleh. Glad you're feeling better, sorry you had to go through that. Could you arrange for that bug to have left the Delaware Valley by New Year's? The scene at Hogmanay could be most unpleasant...

It sounds like it was a

norovirus
(according to my dad, and that sounds plausible.) So hopefully by then it will have cleared up.

It seems like a good thing that I took the day off after I was sick.
