I need some lounge pity....

[mike_c]

I'm sick-- some sort of violent gastric bug or something-- the last 30 hours have been exhausting and painful. Cramps. Toilet hugging. Toilet riding. Oh my.

My grades are due tomorrow so I dragged my butt out of bed about 11:00 this AM and have been working ever since, sitting at my computer with a fever. I managed some weak coffee about lunch time, and just ate a little yogurt.

The worst part about being sick when you live alone-- other than the cats insisting that you get up when they want you up no matter how hellish you feel-- is that there's no one to give you any sympathy. Or make you soup.

Ugh. I feel awful.

1. So sorry.

:hug:

What a crappy time of the semester to be getting sick like this. I hope you feel much better soon.

2. Aww Mike...

Feel better soon...

[mike_c]

3. that's what I really needed tonight-- I don't have any and feel too crappy...

...to make it from scratch. :-(

[TOhioLiberal]

5. If I were close by...

...I'd bring you some. :hug:

[ThomCat]

4. I hope you get it out of your system soon.

Please feel better. :hug:

I live alone, and I agree that it sucks when you're not feeling well.

6. I think the worst is over...

I'm still feverish and washed out, but I'm going to bed soon.

7. Well, mike c, you have my sympathy and hopes for

a speedy recovery from whatever is eatin' at ya'.

And you have my thanks for helping figure out how to post photos; here's one of a sunset, taken in Kenya last year. It ain't chicken soup, but enjoy it (if possible):

8. oh my....

That is gorgeous!

9. I'm so sorry...

I'd offer a Guinness, but it'd only make things worse!

I hope you're back on your feet again soon! :hug::hug::hug:

12. Avoid dairy.

Try soda pop and jello and/or popsicles. The popsicles will help bring you fever down, too. Hot tea (no milk) with honey or lots of sugar. No meat or dairy until your tummy settles down. Poor baby! :hug:

13. I made you some soup!

You definitely have my sympathies. :hug:
