Sick, Sick, Sick

Hi All. Sorry I have been AWOL but I am sick as the proverbial dog. We went out with friends to an "authentic" Chinese restaurant and had a big meal this past weekend. I suspect it truly was the real deal since we were absolutely the only Occidentals in sight and it was a very large place. When The Spouse asked, in desperation, for silverware, they brought her a plastic fork. That was apparently all they had. Fortunately, I am very adept with chopsticks.

Unfortunately, those chopsticks apparently picked up "something" they shouldn't have since I believe I probably have food poisoning. I'm living in the bathroom and I hurt all over so that's my assessment. Hope I'm not giving the restaurant a bad rap and it's really just the flu or something, but the timing was pretty coincidental.

I have to go lay down now. My head is throbbing, my stomach is churning. Another trip to the bathroom is coming up soon, I guarantee you.

So very sorry to hear you're down for the count, LM. I feel your pain. (No food poisoning, but I'm on day 10 now of this down for the count thing with another type of illness.) I hope your system gets back to normal soon and that the bathroom becomes a place you visit only occasionally and without urgency!

I'm sympathetic-- Hope you feel better soon. The bathroom is no place to hang out.

I was missing your daily blog and thought that something must be wrong! Hope you feel better very soon.

It sounds more like the flu to me - does food poisoning cause body aches as well??? Anyway, hope you feel better soon!

Sorry that you are sick.
And yes you can have lots of body aches with the flu. I'm doing 50-75 flu test a day and 75% are positive. The flu is still going strong here.
Hope you feel better soon!

XOXO
