See this blue thing? Do NOT be deceived by it's interesting shape, or lovely color.
It is a nasty virus. And last night it waged nuclear war with my body.
It's been a while since I felt that sick. In fact, the last time I was that miserable, I ended up in the hospital for a week in Washington DC. Happily, I no longer have a gallbladder gone septic.
Thankfully, my personal Doc diagnosed me with a good-ole'-fashioned case of gastroenteritis. I'm glad it wasn't something else, because it truly felt like I'd been poisoned or something.
About 4:30 a.m. Doc got up to start his day at the hospital, but upon finding me still writhing on the floor, he dashed over to 7-11 and picked up some Gatorade for me. This saved me. I was so parched, but plain water just wouldn't stay down, and I think I was very dehydrated. Finally quenched, I was able to start recovering. As I sipped my Gatorade, I was so grateful to Doc. I have no idea how people who live alone survive things. I was really really messed up!
So today instead of Gator's class party, which I was supposed to be doing, and the appointments I had scheduled, I've been napping on and off to make up for no sleep all night. That "off" part is due to some kind of road construction that is going on outside, which is vibrating my whole house and making quite a ruckus. But maybe this means we'll have nice, pot-hole free streets to drive on! Here's hoping!
Blessings:
1) Making it through the night...cause there were moments when I wasn't so sure about that.
2) Gatorade
3) Doc ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

ooh! poor Blue! I absolutely HATE gastroenteritis and all other forms of the pukes. I bet you had the same kind of bug that my husband had this time last year....he was utterly totally completely awfully miserable for 4 days. I finally had to drag him to urgent care to get an IV.
Glad you are feeling better and Glad that you've got a Doc ;-)
hope you are smiley again soon - that doc is sure the MAN to have on hand in these matters :) le xox
SOOOO glad you are alive and better, Blue. YUCK. Sounds like you were barely hanging on. So glad that gatorade saved you though I MUST say if your claim of having 711 right across the street is really true, and not just a made-up blogging world lie to make us all envy your life, then I would have thought you would have been saved by the banana slurpee. That could solve the world's problems. We moved 20 min. away from those 4 yrs ago and life havent been the same since. :(
(still come here, though! The polo matches and golf games daily make up for this! :):)
