Getting better

[cjsmith]

Today I've had two huge mugs of herbal tea, about a tablespoon of plain Rice Krispies, and about two tablespoons of vanilla ice cream. (Tummy is grumbling a little about the ice cream.) My bet = pizza by late this evening, unless I fall asleep before then.

I even feel like I have enough blood sugar to drive home. Yay for glycogen and fat. Isn't it cool that we have storage systems? Bodies are impressive.

So far (Sunday morning) the verdict on the weekend is: not eating a lot, but eating; intestines and lower still NOT HAPPY but tummy basically okay. I'm beginning to wonder what the heck I had (or still have?) here. Fish does not usually give me any kind of effects lasting more than eight hours! I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever poop normally again.

dude, sounds like you got something REALLY nasty. would something like e. coli be a possibility? or a very poorly-time bug that might be circulating your office? at any rate, i hope you continue to improve!

Maybe. If it's e.coli it's not a bad case; there's no blood, I'm able to keep fluids down, etc. That makes me think, though. I should probably check in with a doc on Monday. One medical web site says that any diarrhea that lasts several days is worth a checkup, and mine is not exactly borderline, if you get my meaning. :)

if it's that bad, and has gone on for this long, i'd say a call to the doc is definitely in order. i'd think that after a while, mild dehydration and/or nutritional deficiencies might become an issue.

I *think* I'm only mildly dehydrated now, as opposed to Friday when I was probably a prune. Water is at least not coming back up! :)
