I Survived Ebola
I kid, I kid.... But, I did survive the worst stomach virus ever. Wednesday mornin' I was at work and out of nowhere it came. First it was the butt pee and then came the puking. I went to the minor emergency place and got a shot of anti nausea meds. Felt a little better Thursday, but not good enough to eat anything. Thursday night it came back full force. Called in sick to work again on Friday. I decided to try and eat something on Friday afternoon, big mistake. Started puking again and this time the pukes came with awful stomach cramping. My hub had to go to a work related event, so I called his best friend, Bobby, to come and take me to the hospital. Good thing I brought a bag with me, cause I puked on the way there. Chris met us at the emergency room. I hate the hospital, so you know I'm pretty sick when I'm begging someone to take me. We waited for 3 hours before seeing a doc. Lots of dirty, germy looking people in that place. I'm surprised I didn't pick up another illness from being there for so long. I got 2 liters of IV fluids and some more anti nausea medicine. I finally start to feel better and the nurse gives me some potassium, because my electrolyetes were all effed up from the puking, and some benadryl and reglan. Next thing I know my heart feels like it's going to beat out of my chest and I start to feel dizzy. 45 minutes and EKG later I get to go home. Guess I had some weird reaction to the meds. Today I'm finally starting to feel back to normal. The only upside to this virus was the rapid weight loss, I'll have a great weigh in this week at weight watchers!

You poor baby, I hope you feel better soon.
I starting to feel a little sick while reading it. Should have stopped eating my oatmeal until I was done.
I glad your on the mend. Stay healthy.
Daddy #1's wife has this too - the emergency room seems to think it's Salmonella... ?!? I'm glad you survived!
