I am taking a sick day today, which is a very unusual thing for me to do.
Not to get too graphic here but I either ate something I shouldn't have, or met up with a virus I shouldn't have, or my lower GI system has revolted against the large amounts of fiber I have been eating.

Let's just say I am sore inside from my waist to my hips from last night's bloating and distension, and do not think I can sit in a chair all day. Would like to know what caused this so I don't do it again, but I am going to stay home and be nice to my system with yogurt, thin soup (bow down to colonel Lipton chicken soup) and rest. I did NOT sleep well last night, due to pain.

If the mods decide to lock this, I understand, I just wanted to rant a bit.

At least I have some good DVD's from Netflix to watch and some odd stuff I can do around here if I get to feeling better. I do feel better than I did when I went to bed last night.

1. Hope you're feeling better soon, yellowdogintexas.
I'd rather have a thousand sinus infections than a single stomach virus. :hug: :hug:

2. good point. At least I am spared the vomiting.
however I never in my life thought I would actually want a slight case of the runs.

Thanks for the good wishes.
How is TWAEBCNG?

3. TWAEBCNG sends you good vibes!
He is having the time of his life patrolling the property in search of Porkchop, the little feral cat we're feeding and doctoring. I don't think Ginger particularly dislikes Porkchop, but it is _job_ to pee wherever Porkchop has been. :eyes:

Feel better soon, okay? :hug: :hug:

5. finally today I am better. Thanks for your vibes and those of Ginger.
kitty vibes are awesome...mine stuck to me like glue all day yesterday. Of course when one of them took a notion to step on my lower abdomen it was not fun (the smallest cat in the world weighs a ton when putting its weight all on one foot, and my boys are BIG) ...but things seem to have improved, and most of the trapped 'air' has moved on .

:hi: :hi: :hi:

6. I'm coming down with something. I have a sore throat. But I usually just power
through and go to work anyway.

7. Home is the only place to be when you have something like that going on!
Feel better!
