Sickness Times One thousand

[thescarletwoman]

I am sick... and when I say sick... boy do I mean sick.

I"m sparing all the gory details right now. But we'll just say it's either the flu or food poisoning. I'm going with food poisoning with how my stomach was acting (and how many times I've been running to the bathroom today ><) though having a fever of over 100 when your normal body temperature is 97.3 isn't a good thing either.

I feel like someone's taken a baseball bat to me and given me a thrice over. *sigh* And so much for the surprise I had for inell too. You'll get it tomorrow when I have the head to put the finishing touches on it.

I'm crawling back in bed. If anyone needs me; some of you have my cell. I may even be skipping orchestra tonight -- not sure about that. All I know that the thought of leaving my dorm right now makes me want to curl up in an itty-bitty ball and sob.

:mommy on:

You'll be wanting a cool wet cloth for your head. Worth getting up for, I swear. Get a couple and alternate them so one can cool off after it heats up from you, while you use the other.

Also, if you have anyone that could run to the store for you, see if they can get you some pedialyte. Unlikely to further upset your stomach (though the existing upset, well) and easily absorbed electrolytes and hydration. Getting all dehydrated doesn't help at all. It's designed for ickle babies whose tummies aren't accustomed to hardly any kinds of food.

You know about the BRAT diet? Bananas, rice, applesauce, (plain) toast. For when you think you can tolerate any actual food.

Today I'll either be walking to the store, or perhaps I'll send Alex for me. Haven't quite decided. ;)

*SNUGS* Oh lordy - get to bed, stay in bed, get well! If you're still feeling chancey, skip orchestra, please? I don't want you trying to handle that while sick - and if you need anything, TELL ME. I'm going to check up on you later, just to make sure you're fine.

*snugs* Feel better and remember - if you need anything, tell me.

Did skip orchestra. And Ginevra (administrative ass't) was just like: you get better when she emailed me today about program notes.

I know; and I will.

Flora gave good advice, so I'll just settle for *HUGS* Feel better, dear.

I say just skip orchestra. Oltman is hardly a lasting cure for the tummy upsets, know what I mean? Feel better dolly! *snuggles*

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

Not Oltman right now because he's on Sabattical. Can deal with Stuart more, but same situation. DID skip orchestra and it prolly helped.
