the nasty stomach bug?

Alright - so I didn't feel that bad when I climbed out of bed this morning at 4:45 - but now I am sitting here at my desk wishing I was in bed - might have to leave early. I am slowly sipping my decaf coffee with skim milk and splenda and feeling my intestines cramping up like they are trying to crawl out my belly button - ugh. I am guessing that this is one of the symptoms of that nasty bug going around? I guess I won't be eating the items I packed but will be sure to keep drinking as many fluids as I can. Wish now that I would have packed different things today. At least I have chicken soup - if nothing else I'll drink the broth out of it.

Alright - guess I just needed to whine. Thanks for listening to me - as always

You know what, honey - go home now - put your jammies back on and crawl into bed and let that bug run its course. The longer you sit there the more miserable you're going to feel and then driving home is going to be the pits. And if your insides are already feeling that way you may not make it to the bathroom in time - if its the same bug I had it really only lasts about 24 hours, but those 24 can be miserable.

Hope you're feeling better soon...

Thanks Kathy - I hope that is all that it lasts. I am just holding out until my boss gets in. Hopefully he will let me leave. He has had it too so I am hoping for some sympathy.

I feel for you Liz!  You sound just like I did Wednesday evening into yesterday morning.

Like Kathy said...about 24 hours but it is definately not fun!!  I found that dairy definately made it worse - so that decaf coffee w/ skim might not be a hot idea right now.  I lived on decaf tea, broth and lots of crystal lite.

Feel better soon!

Kathy is right!! Go home!! We had it all over my family. Both kids, kelley, my and dad had it. two aunts and some little cousins all sick!!

Get your jammies on and veg!!
