Thursday, July 19, 2007 Gastroenteritis posted at 10:10 AM So, I'm like really sick and stuff. I always feel like I'm cheating when I take time off work when I'm sick. I really shouldn't, especially this time, because I was told by the doctor to absolutely stay home the rest of the week. I have a highly contagious stomach virus, and I need to rest and rehydrate and take medicine that will probably make me drowsy. But aside from the varying chills and sweats and constant diarrhea, I feel okay. That's why I went to work yesterday (and came home after three hours when I saw how high my fever was) and also, like a dolt, went out to lunch with Wes and also went to see Order of the Phoenix again at 8 o'clock. Spreading those germs everywhere was apparently my mission yesterday ;P So I'm going to take this seriously. I picked up my prescriptions and some sports drinks and water at Walgreens, and I'm going to stay home and relax and watch anime and piddle around online and sleep for as long as it takes for this thing to go away. I hope nobody I've been around lately caught the bug from me :( I honestly thought it was food poisoning at first, since it started while I was eating lunch, so I didn't worry about possibly being contagious. Labels: health, tmi Comments So far so good here! Hope you feel better By  Wes at Thursday, July 19, 2007 10:12:00 PM   Thanks :) By  Heather Meadows at Thursday, July 19, 2007 11:10:00 PM   I hope you feel better soon! For future reference, usually food poisoning doesn't come on for hours (up to 48!) after you eat. So if you get sick at lunch, think about what you ate for breakfast, or even for dinner the night before. That's what makes stomach issues so tricky.

Thanks :) By  Heather Meadows at Friday, July 20, 2007 5:50:00 PM   I think David caught your bug, he IM'd me from work earlier today, saying he felt poopy. Guess you'd better just get your sick ass over here, and get me sick, too!! Then we can sit around in the house, watching the rainy, cold weather outside, and talk about how crappy we feel. But we can do it TOGETHER.. ;) By  Brookie at Friday, July 20, 2007 6:40:00 PM   LOL Well, I'm sorry to hear David's not feeling well, though he probably deserves it given that threat he made about spoiling the very last Harry Potter book for me. But I assure you I could not have done it in revenge; I'm certain my coughs and sneezes don't have quite enough force to cross the Atlantic.
