I threw up seven times.

SEVEN FUCKING TIMES. Or maybe it was eight, I lose track.

Once an hour, at 22 past. I skipped 7:22 am (I managed to actually fall into a very uneasy sleep), but then I threw up at 8:22.

Couldn't even go to my own bed, it's much too far from the bathroom. I had to hang out in my mom's room.

And after all the throwing up was over, I still had dry heaves periodically. I wanted to take some midol, since I had some backaches which come with my period, but I felt that I couldn't keep it down if I did. Ate a little applesauce, paid for those two spoonfuls with two hours of feeling they were about to bolt back up.

I will say, without reservation, that today was the most miserable day of my life.

Eventually I reached a stage where I drifted in and out of consciousness, but it wasn't exactly what I'd call sleeping.

Woke up (kinda) with this awful pain in my stomach. I felt so horrible, along the lines of "What new horrors are coming????", but then I realized I was just hungry. Ate some more applesauce. Didn't feel like I'd throw up. After I still didn't for an hour or so, I finally took that midol, so that was good.

I don't know if I'll be able to watch the kids tomorrow, but on the other hand, Jenn was sick too. Maybe she won't be able to go to work either and we can both just stumble around the house in solidarity.

Oh wow. It definitely sounds like you guys have the virus that's going around San Antonio. I fortunately didn't have the vomiting, but the people who did had it just like you did. For most people it only lasts one day. I hope yours will too. It's one nasty bug.

It feels like the vomiting is over. Elise had it two days, though the second day was much milder.

Sounds like what a friend of mine had earlier this week, except his was exploding out both ends. In the end he lost 13 pounds over the course of 30 hours. Yikes!

Jenn had the runs. I may have had them, but I also had my period, which causes the opposite problem, so perhaps it evened out.

Gah, I should climb on a scale and see if I lost any weight from this ordeal. :-( I had the same "both ends" problem!!
