stupid stomach virus. *weep*

[swingchickie]

well, i got the awful stomach bug that's been making its rounds at work. i spent all of last night doing an oscar-worthy "poltergeist" imitation... now i'm just exhausted and woozy and dehydrated. i would kill to be able to chug a glass of ice water right now... but if i take any more than baby sips, it's going to come right back out again.

meh. meeeeeehhhhhhh.

ETA: my mommy is the best... i called to ask her if she could bring over a bottle of apple juice, and she said she'd drop it off in an hour or so... my doorbell just rang, and when i opened the door there were a ton of bags that she'd left: apple juice, 2 flavors of gatorade, sugar-free popsicles, chicken soup, crackers... oh yeah, and 16 rolls of toilet paper. :)

let me tell you... when you're dehydrated and weak, red berry gatorade over ice is the best thing EVER. oh my god, one sip reduced me to tears.

Yeah - I would think that the gatorade would be best since it replenishes the electolytes that you're probably desperately low on.

Go Mom.

Reaaally sorry to hear that you're not feeling well.

So sorry! I hope you feel better!

But then, I see you're keeping to your weight loss plan. That stomach flu will do it, sipping gatorade and sucking on crackers... until they exit your body rather forcefully, will definitely keep the calorie absorption down. Wear an old pair of gloves on your hands: when the the muscle aches and internal cramping cause you to claw at the bathroom tile floor, you'll not ruin your nails. You do have a lovely bathroom so that's a plus (although I didn't look at it from the angle of fetal position whimpering, rocking back and forth in agony). I second the Your Mom is the Best! Take care!

yeah... i'm down 2 pounds from yesterday, basically because i've wrung every drop of water out of my body. i'm sure i'll gain 5 back as soon as i start eating again. :)

Oh man, being this kinda sick sucks. And even though I'm a woman who doesn't enjoy monthly over-hydration/bloating, I think I'd take over- to under- any day. Especially when you feel like that precious water is being expelled from every available pore of your body, competely against your freakin' will. Take care of yourself. Hug.
