Gastroenteritis (Stomach Virus) Sucks

After breakfast yesterday I headed off to work only to really begin feeling like ass. Upset stomach, diarrhea, muscle aches and a mild fever and it only got worse throughout the day. Lunchtime I went home as usual but I really didn’t have an appetite. I was able to eat a pita and drink some juice but that was about it, and even then I couldn’t really keep it down. Not good.
My boss allowed us out of the office yesterday at 3 but I was only able to make it to around 2:40 before I was really feeling bad. So I went home, poured myself a hot bath and sat there for an hour trying to feel better.
All I could do was drink Gatorade and try and get comfortable. I missed the biggest party night of the year, even bigger than New Years because I didn’t fully cook my eggs.
This morning I’m feeling much better but honestly I’m still not that hungry. No Thanksgiving dinner for me I guess, looks l like I’ll have to wait till next year. There’s also no surf so my five year tradition of spending the day on the beach and surfing is out as well. Ah well, at least I’m not flu-ish anymore and I should be able to enjoy the rest of the day.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone – hope yours is better than mine.
