Give me your stomach (please)

You know when people say, "I haven't been this sick in years," and you know that they're lying?

Well, I'm not (lying, that is (I most certainly am the sickest I've been in years)). Expect very light posting over the next couple days (if any). This is the most lively I've been in about twenty-four hours, and I feel like someone's recently impaled me on a washing-machine spindle and then activated the bloody device.

In other words, I have one hell of a stomach flu right now.

If I'm not dead in a few days, then expect posting to return to its regular schedule.

Maybe I'll try to get a stomach transplant or something. Do any of you have a stomach you aren't using?

you sure it's not food poisoning?

I caught a bad philly steak hot pocket one time and well, the projectile vomiting was kind of cool but the rest of it really sucked big time. I spent half the time thinking I was going to die and the other have wishing I was going to die.

I accidentally subjected my husband to food poisoning once. No, really. There was some ranch dressing in the fridge that was about 2 years old, and he discovered it and put it on something. I've never seen him as sick as he was then. (Okay, I'm not sure why it was my fault, except now I regularly look at things in the fridge, and throw them out if they are suspicious looking. That's what love is all about!)

Really, could it have been something you ate? He survived without going to the doctor, but not everyone does. If you haven't already, you might want to check it out.

I just finished this, and I KNOW you aren't lying. This is the sickest I've been in at least a decade.

I felt the twinge of "god, it feels like I'm going to puke, how weird is that?" on Friday night just before bed. Just today I got back to feeling normal. Puking, heavy gastro-intestinal pain, diahrehhia... this thing is just awful.

Good luck. It will end, eventually. Nothing you can do but sleep a lot and stay close to the bathroom. :(

I'd like to issue a formal complaint about the webcam picture not being updated to feature projectile vomiting.

In all honestly, hope you feel better. All my cures for sickness involve "sleeping off the hangover" or "bitching at work about having to come in sick."

Could it be alcohol poisoning? Do you remember anything about the last few days? Are there any empty fifths of "Ol' Grandad" anywhere in your home? Did you drink the cleaning supplies?

Anyway, keep that in Portland, don't bring it anywhere East. Hope you feel better soon.

Sure, fine, why not? Just go ahead and take my stomach. I have three, so I suppose I can make do with one less. After all, I've been getting on fine with one testicle ever since I had to come through for that Sells guy when he was down on his luck.

What is it about you computer geeks that leads me to make such sacrifices?
