DH has mostly gotten over his stomach virus, and boy, it was BRUTAL. You don't want to know the kind of laundry stains I'm trying to eradicate...I've never seen him so sick! And I'm dreading cleaning his bathroom tomorrow.
Guess who the next victim was? Though I have managed to keep my bed sheets clean (so far), I have been so SICK the past 2 days. Yesterday was the worst. I vomitted 5 times yesterday morning. Nothing would stay down. I had no appetite, and, while watching tv, the site of even draft beer being poured into a glass made me almost vomit. I was so weak and tired, I had trouble tending to the cats. I couldn't get warm. My stomach hurt. I only tried to eat to keep my blood sugar from plummeting--I wasn't hungry at all--and still am not. It took over an hour to drink a crude "milkshake" I made from 1/2 a Klondike bar and milk (when my stomach is sick, I crave milkshakes, which help it).
I did sleep very well last night, and thought I had escaped the bathroom part. Nope. That started this afternoon. Apart from that, I feel a lot more energetic, and did some housework today. Still no appetite. I had no dinner (I never skip meals; it's how I control my blood sugar), so I'm now choking down this gawd-awful Minute Rice chicken/rice thing that DH had (I thought he hated rice?!?!). Yuck. Some vacation!
The next part may be TMI ("too much information"), but it's kind of funny:
The first time I threw up, I went to the downstairs toilet. While kneeling in front, I noticed some disgusting brown splashes on the underside of the seat (hubby left me a gift when he was sick). I tried to grab the tub of Clorox wipes with my left hand while puking into thte toilet. Do not try this at home, as they say...Guess I can't multi-task!
