How Sick Have You Been?
Last night was one of the worst nights of my life. I wasn’t feeling very good, and went to bed around Midnight. I was under a sheet, a quilt, and a comforter, but I could not get warm. I figured that I had a fever, so I took my temperature. It was 95.1. That’s way too low, so I hopped in the tub to warm up with a warm bath. It helped quite a bit, but as soon as I got out of the tub, I threw up. Fortunately, I made it to the toilet before letting loose.
Then came round after round of diarrhea, vomiting, and harsh chills. I tried to sleep between trips to the toilet, but it was no use. I was up and heading to the bathroom every 10-20 minutes. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep. There was even a time that I was so exhausted that I didn’t wake up in time to get to the bathroom. I got most of it in the toilet, but there was a stream of drops between the bed and the bathroom. My wife, the wonderful person that she is, got up to clean up after me because I was no shape to get on my hands and knees to scrub the carpet.
I’m sure that she didn’t get much rest either because I was constantly up and in the bathroom.
I managed to get some sleep this morning, but I had to get up for more diarrhea time after time. The last time that I threw up (about 3 hours ago) I felt tons better. I’m thinking that I got some food poisoning somewhere yesterday. I’m not sure where it came from, but it was most likely the fast food that I had yesterday.
I had hoped for a more happy blog today to review the long weekend, but this took precedence. Maybe I’ll have a less gross post tomorrow.
