| Post subject: | Recovery |
I started feeling unwell Wednesday afternoon, and haven't felt much like moving since. The thought of eating was enough to induce the queasy. I think I managed about 400 calories from Wed. through this morning. So went I left work today I got some chicken and made a pot of soup. I know I'm getting better-I was picking chunks off the soup chicken as soon as it had poached long enough to be edible. Other useful foods I discovered for unhappy intestines: Celery with PB. Loads of fiber helps keep food in the system and PB is nutritionally dense. Can be made in tiny bite-sized slices, too. A spoonful of honey, followed by warm water. Rice with a smidge of butter and salt. The uber-cure, ginger ale. I haven't been hit this hard by illness in years. I couldn't tell if the headache was caused by the bug, hunger, or dehydration. Until I got food down, I couldn't manage ibuprofen. That pot of soup is making me feel better just by simmering on the stove. Yesterday, the idea that people actually ate food was still impossible. |

Becky, Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery. For a number of days I couldn't even manage water. One hell of a bug, I've got to say. Amy |

So glad to hear you're feeling better Becky. It's taken me a month to get rid of what I call my "kennel cough" aka plane flu. This winter has really wreaked havoc on so many of us! |

I had that bug for three days and didn't think I'd survive. Nobody was allowed near me. It was hell. So glad it's gone. fitzie |

I am so glad that my sweetie dragged me to get flu shots this year. Practically everyone I know has had some kind of plague or another. Glad you're feeling better, Becky. |

Fuzzy, I got a flu shot and I still got some kind of plague--twice (just now recovering from the second, thankfully less severe, episode). |

This was no influenza. And today eating normally has restarted. Also energy levels are almost fully restored. At last! |
