Eck, I hate being sick!

I'm sorry you've been sick and I'm glad you are getting better!

I just have to say this though. The "throw-up bug" is NOT the flu! People mistakenly call it the "stomach flu" but it isn't Influenza! It is a somach / intestinal virus. The flu (influenza) is what the shots are for and generally has body aches, high fever, chills, cold symptoms but not vomiting!

So, it if makes you feel "better" the shot wouldn't have helped this bug! But next year get the shot, because you don't want the real flu either!

I know. I know but I grew up calling vomiting the flu and I'll probably call it the flu til the day I die. Every nurse I know still calls any GI bug they get the flu.

There is nothing worse than being sick to one's stomach. Ugh! My co-worker came in on Thursday after having spent the night before throwing up. Honestly I wish she had stayed home because she left after about an hour and a half because she felt sick again. Today she did call out sick. I hope none of us will get it. That hour and a half that she was in on Thursday was long enough for her to "share" her bug with us.

The only good thing about a stomach bug (for me) is that I lose weight. It's no fun while you're going through it, though. Hopefully, you're feeling better now....
