Later Sunday night, I came down with the stomach flu. At first, I just thought it was something minor. I was dizzy, really tired and my stomach felt funny. But by midnight, I was really sick. I spent the entire night on the couch, running back and forth to the bathroom.
Unfortunately, I didn't improve on Monday. I'd sleep for a few minutes (or just lay on the couch and moan) and then I'd throw up 10 times in a row. Immediately, I'd feel better for about five minutes and then I'd start the whole process over. It really was as miserable as it sounds.
Last night I started to feel a bit better. While I was still sick and had a good fever going, at least I wasn't as weak as I had been and I felt like I was finally getting somewhere. I slept pretty well for about four hours last night and then it was back to the bathroom, where I remained until this morning.
I thought I was going to be able to go into work, but by mid-morning and after a little bit of food, I knew it probably wasn't wise. While I do feel a lot better than yesterday, I'm still not keeping food in. I still have a bit of a fever. And I'm just sluggish in general.
Because I was having a hard time keeping fluids in yesterday, I'm also really dehydrated which is making my stomach cramp up. I'm working on correcting that though.
By tomorrow, I hope to be completely well.
