Viral Gastroenteritis
Shitting and puking. That sums up what I've been doing since early Monday morning last week. Well, it's now significantly better at least, I'm not running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Still have a little bit of the upset stomach and nausea, but less frequent bowel movements.
Eeww...why is Ronnie talking about this? Well...this viral gastroenteritis bit had me down this whole week, so I think it's important. I even had to get a shot to help stop the vomiting. Yep, that bad. I called in sick again as well, 'cause I wasn't going to work in such a state.
At least I'm now able to eat solid food. I was pretty much on a liquid or no-food diet this whole week. Yum...food tastes so good. But I'm still laying off the dairy, as I still have the runs at times. Hey..some food is better than nothing. But I discovered something that I can have, and it's the closest thing to ice cream for now...Sorbet!!
Hooray for sorbet!! I had some of that delicious stuff at cold stone yesterday. I'm now sending Val on a mission to find me sorbet. I called Pay-More and discovered they have some at the Mall store. So...off Val goes. And I eagerly await her return.
In other news, school work has commenced. At least an inch of it at least. I took a NCLEX 3000 pretest, and sucked. I only got 57%. Then again, I was sick to my stomach still, and on the verge of puking. Anyhoo, I've done a little more online research for my project today. And if I'm still in a typing mood this evening, I may just start writing some of my reflective paper...yeah...right....I'm just waiting for that sorbet to get home!
So, I'm on annual leave now, to start and finish my school work, and I'm seeing my psychiatrist frequently to make sure I'm doing the work. And I'm still recovering from viral gastroenteritis.

Is that the scientific name for stomach flu? That doesn't make for a very happy Thanksgiving ...
Thank you for sorbet. And toilets. And shots to make one stop hurling. And for annual leave. Hoooorah! ;)
I still like ice cream better. Or ... ice cream + sorbet .. ooo baby.
I also like homestarrunner.com
This is making me think I need to do my own "thankful post" on my site. Maybe I'll do that.

It means the stomach and intestinal linings are extremely irritated and anything that dares be in them gets rejected, usually due to a virus.
The lining has to regenerate itself, so staying on liquids or no food at all makes it rest enough to do so.
Lots of peeps confuse this with stomach flu.
I'm glad it's so much better now. I can eat pretty anything. I've had ice cream, KFC, and Taco Bell already ^_^
Good idea for a thanksgiving post..."what I'm thankful for".
Very tired right now. Don't feel up to doing my paper. bleh :P
