sicko

Yes, somehow I have become the sickest one in the family. I got up this morning, got showered, got E up, dropped her off at daycare and went to work. About a half hour into work I started feeling like maybe I shouldn't be there. I was feeling weak and light-headed. I couldn't even get up and go to the copier comfortably. I called my dad to see if I could work out something to get Ellie home this afternoon, explaining that I wasn't feeling well and I needed to go home. He insisted I go to the doctor first. So I did. I felt like I just had the flu and felt kinda stupid going in for the flu... but I was also kinda worried about possible food poisoning. I get called back and what's always first? The nurse weighed me. I had lost 9 lbs in two days. I sat down so she could take my temp and I started crying. For one cause I felt so crappy and two because I had lost 9 lbs in two days! It scared me. Made me feel like there was something eating me from the inside out! Normally I'd be happy to lose that much weight, but not the way I did. My temp was 97.5. And even scarier than the weight loss, they couldn't find my blood pressure. They tried twice, with two different types of machines. Talk about freaked out. So Dr. M. seemed to think I had the rot.avi.rus. A nasty stomach flu. I do not wish any of you to have this. It is disgusting and awful. Dr. M. told me to start eating the "brat" diet. Bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. And only drink water. So, I came home, slept until 12:30 and have since been up. I've had a piece of toast, some applesauce and some water. I feel ok, probably cause I'm doing nothing... but my stomach is gurgling away... I don't think it knows what to do with the food that is in it. GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. This sucks.
