Summary of a sick day

[yendi]

Dozed fitfully until about 10:30. Then finally succumbed to my stomach's pointing out that I hadn't eaten a thing in twenty hours or so, and risked one of those 100-calorie packs of Honey Grahams. Dozed on and off througout the rest of the morning and early afternoon, with temperature rising from 99.9 in the morning to 101.8 by the time shadesong and docorion got back from picking up Miss Kid at school.

The former two went back out to buy Tylenol, Pepto, ginger-ale, and peppermint tea. The combination of those, at around three in the afternoon, did wonders, as I soon found myself actually sweating and wanting the heat turned down, for the first time in a day. Read for a while, then said goodbye to 'song and docorion when they headed out to dinner, around seven-ish. I attempted to read again, and managed to doze off.

Woke up at 11:30, and found that Elayna had fallen asleep in her bed.

Wolfed down some more Tylenol, and since my stomach was yelling at me for having only about 150 calories in the last 24 hours (ginger-ale and those honey grahams), I had some more soda and a packet of Chex Mix while watching some episodes of CSI on the Tivo. Followed that up with Drawn Together and Family guy reruns, which was a bad idea -- my stomach muscles still hurt when I laugh.

Finally crashed again around 3, woke up at 10, showered and ate a real breakfast (toast and eggs). Still feeling weak, but I suspect that lack of food is a factor. Still sore, but not nearly as much as before. I'll take it easy for a while, though.

Oh, and the stomach still hurts when I laugh. I know because I just went through a week's worth of posts at The Comics Curmudgeon.

ETA: Needless to say, I'm not going to try to catch up on LJ, so if something important happened that I need to know about, use that '90s era tech and email me.

Yikes, sounds like a fairly uncomfortable day! I'm still jealous you were able to sleep, though.

Hope you're feeling better, and take it easy today!

So glad you are feeling somewhat better.

Well, I think that you and I were afflicted with different ailments - I tend to have trouble sleeping when I'm stuff up, as well.

Hope you're doing better as well, and that the party's a blast! I really wish I'd been better, but my temp is still high (and my appetite low -- nothing worse than being at a party with smoked salmon and not being able to eat any!).

Thanks!
