blalrhrhh+_)!

i awoke at 1am last night to a series of vomitings. I was chilly, couldn't hold it down, and had a spat or two of drippy poo.

Every sleepless half hour, on the dot, I tossed my pizza from last night until there was no more. Around 8am what came out scared me, because there was literally nothing in my diet that was yellow, but there it was, yellow stuff in the bowl.

I called my doctor and they arranged for me to come in...at 4pm. Gahhhh. They also advised that I start drinking Ginger Ale. Up until this point, I had ran to Hannaford's really quick for some cough drops and some Pepto Bismol (note to self: Pepto Bismol doesn't work when you have the flu). I got the Ale, and oh, what a difference. It was at this moment (11am) that I stopped puking my guts out.

Hours have passed and I'm still drinking it. I am 10 times better and even managed a full hour of sleep! Soon the doctors will give me pills and I'll forget I was even sick. Maybe I'll keep the Ginger Ale around, though, just in case.

I feel your pain... last night was the end of a very painful vomiting spree. I couldn't even have a cuppa tea without bolting for the bathroom. Ugh. Got to the point where I was puking so much and so violently that something must've torn in my esophagus, because I noticed a bit of blood after a while. Uuuuugh. And yes, ginger ale is the greatest thing since sliced crack if your tummy is uckies.

Glad I'm not the only one! Oh-HOOO crap!

Just kidding. Sorry for us both! In my case, suffering through those twelve hours of puking did give me the rest of the week off, even though I wasn't at 100%.
