kittention



I can't take any more of this salt sh. I'm attempting ice cubes and un-vegetarian-Jell-o. At least I'm finally getting some kitty attention!

wahhh

my headache went away and now it's back! pooey gotta take a second rapimelt

the elecrolytes are making me grumbly

sux

salty

Got some sleep. Feeling better. Finally got to drink, but Fernando said I should start with the electrolyte drink, which tastes like salt. So. Drinking cold salt water isn't really what I was dreaming of. Sigh.

Gaaastrooooo nothing but gaaaastroooo

Since gastro outbreaks are really common in hospitals, I assume that's what I've got. That's why I don't think I'd ever take a cruise, cause you always hear these horror stories about gastro outbreaks, that spread ship-wide

Viral gastroenteritis is an intestinal infection caused by several different viruses. Highly contagious, viral gastroenteritis is the second most common illness in the United States. It causes millions of cases of diarrhea each year.

Anyone can get viral gastroenteritis and most people recover without any complications. However, viral gastroenteritis can be serious when people cannot drink enough fluids to replace what is lost through vomiting and diarrhea—especially infants, young children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems.

Symptoms

The main symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are watery diarrhea and vomiting. Other symptoms are headache, fever, chills, and abdominal pain. Symptoms usually appear within 4 to 48 hours after exposure to the virus and last for 1 to 2 days, though symptoms can last as long as 10 days.



I would MURDER someone for a glass of ice water

Fernando told me he didn't get his Tummy Troubles under control until he stopped drinking for 12 hours. So I've only drunk a little water when taking gravol (not helping), immodium (helping), or Tylenol (my leg muscles ache now.) But I'm dying to eat or drink something coooooooold. I want a Freezie!

I keep vacillating between way too hot, and freezing cold.

Man, I haven't watched Regis and Kelly since I was a house cleaner and Mrs. Aitken would be watching it. Ripa has ripped arms! I remember when Regis came out with a book called I Am Only One Man, and I used to say, Thank God! Mehhhh heh heh heh.

I want to die.

Oh good, my cold cloth is still cold because they haven't put the heat on in the apartment yet. Ahhhh.

Fernando's actually glad I'm sick, because he was never sure in the end whether he had a bug or food poisoning from what he ate at the hospital the first day. Now he feels like he can be comfortable still eating at the hospital. Thanks Fernando. Thanks. Did you really need to know that badly??

This is the first sick day I've taken from work in ages. The worst I remember was the year I got that insane pneumonia-flu-bronchitis that was going around, about 9 years ago. I missed an entire week of work. I hallucinated that my feet were talking. I had to sleep sitting up cause I had trouble breathing. It was one of the most miserable weeks of my life. It was the first time I could understand how people died of the flu during the Span Infl outbreak. I was soooo tired, I could barely make it the bathroom.

Kelly Ripa is lauding the maternity leave times in Canada.

I hope I didn't give this bug to anyone at work cause it's just GROSS.

Woody Harrelson's a cool guy. And Ripa's right, he does look like a teenager. I'd like to see the zombie movie he's going to be in.

I'm huuuungry. All I ate last night, at work, was two pieces of veggie sushi, and my pudding. Then I started feel nauseous so I stopped. But I daren't eat yet. It'll just come right back out, from one end or another.

In other news... I wore my Rockport shoes the first couple days at work, and they were comfortable, but my fasciitis certainly hasn't gone away, so my feet were still killing me. The next two days I wore my special clogs, and what a difference! Much less sore.

Ew Woody stop you're gonna make me cookie toss! He says that Kelsey Grammar used to salt butter, and just eat it. EWWWWWWW.

I love this milk ad, with the French-sounding Grandma. Her grandson is sad because "his tarantula was on his last leg. So I gave him a glass of milk" --you see this kid and his dying tarantula-- "and said Poor Ben. Don't worry, there are more bugs in Grandma's basement." And then she says to the camera: "There's nothing more comforting than a Grandma."

Fuuuuuck

Fernando's been sick this week. He's fine now, but tonight I started the exact same symptoms...

- the chills
- cookie tossing
- and then 24 hours of regular bathroom visits

wee.

Luckily he bought gravol and immodium towards the end, so maybe that will help. I've already emailed in sick to work.
