Oh the misery.

Cameron and my youngest daughter had a stomach bug Christmas Day and now it seems its my turn, only I got it worse. I have a 101 degree fever, my hands are numb and stiff (typing this thread is very awkward.) I have been throwing up all day and nothing is staying down... I wanted a cookie telling hubby that I might as well enjoy it going down because I know it'll come back up

He refused to let me have it

It stinks to be so dizzy and numb and needing to run to the bathroom every half hour to throw up food that isn't there.

To make matters worse, there is a contest at work for some serious bonus money and I'm going to lose it because I too today off and most likely won't be going in to work tomorrow. I was the front runner by a very small lead and now I'll lose that lead for missing a busy weekend. Drat!

You have our sympathy, but please keep the germs to yourself, we don't want them!

Aww that stinks. I'm sorry you are so ill. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Feel better, girlfriend.

I am bored out of my mind.... I called work and they're super busy (just my luck) and I had several customers come in for me (again, my luck)

I have to try to go to work tomorrow. Chances are I'll be leaving early, but at least I can give it a try. The ting thats bothering me most right now is the numbness and tightness in my hands. I can't type too well and its work to get my hands to open and close... weird, huh?

Kim, I'm sorry to hear that you're sick.

I hope that you'll feel better soon. Please don't try to overdo it though. Take care.

Oh boy, something is going around on PT. I'm sorry that you're feeling so punk. Get well soon.

**kimlovescats** · 12-28-2007, 11:37 PM

Kim, maybe you are dehydrated and that is causing the numbness in your hands. You need to get some rest!

Get better soon!

Kim, Lut has this too! GATORADE! Helps dehydration and puts the electrolytes back.

If you don't have any in the house, beg hubby to run down to the corner store and get you some.

I had the Norwalk virus two years ago - it sounds like what you and Lut have, tummy flu that can explode at both ends or one. Bless my friends that got the Gatorade for me (and some other items...I couldn't even drive for two days).

It's not a cure, Kim - but you will feel better!

HUGS!

Your health is the bonus that counts!
