Got food poisoning yesterday midday (best guess is salmonella), all the way up to full-blown gastroenteritis. Wheeeee. :P Landed me an overnight stay in a short-term care hospital with an IV to get fluids--yay for dehydration that left me damned near unable to walk. All sorts of injections for meds, blood draws, and IV sticks...have bad veins for poking anyway, and being dehydrated made it extra fun. Think I had around 7 sticks over the past couple days (I swear it was closer to 10, but I was kinda foggy).

Anyway, home now. Gonna stay home from work tomorrow since I'm still so weak/tired and washed-out. And no milk or milk products for 3-5 days since things will be easily upset for a bit. But I will say I think I would do many, many unholy things to prevent ever being that ill again. >_

I'm so very sorry for you. I had a case of food poisoning in China, and was reminded how dreadful that can be. I hope you're able to rest up enough tomorrow. *huggles*

D: omg, in China? I return the 'feel sorry' feeling :x --I mean, to have such during a vacation, and in a place where you don't know the languages or the health system. *return huggles* And yep, working on resting, tho am so achy it's making sleep difficult. Guess I need more bananas or something. ^^;

Oh my God! FEHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I'm glad to hear you're doing a little better now, but that really sucks, my friend.

Take care of yourself, ne? Rest, drink plenty of water to wash it all out.

*worries about you*

I remember my stomach flu of 2004... jesus, that put me on my back for two whole weeks, could keep anything down but gatorade and dr. pepper (because if I tried, it'd either come out the top or leak out the bottom), and I was so weak I couldn't get out of bed.

I remember how awful I felt... I'm so sorry you have had to go through something like that!!

*hugs you muchly* Egads, 2 weeks? D: I was like that for only a matter of hours and was on the phone with the doctor. Tho I couldn't keep down even water, so I guess I didn't just wuss out. ^^;

And no worries. Just tired and achy--and the cats keep walking on me, which isn't helping the resting while sore thing hugely much, unless they sit and keep still. *heh*

*extra hugz0rz*
