I'm not sure if it was an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato or something else entirely. However, I do know the "chills" and "thrills" of a stomach virus are no laughing matter.
Cheryl went through the very same thing recently and she was weak for .. a week.
It appears .. knock on wood .. my ailment was more of the 36 to 48 hour variety and I actually feel like eating something substantial (man can not live on POWERADE and bananas alone) this morning.
There are lots of things I have tried to pass on to my children.
This is not one of them.
Hopefully, my daughter and son-in-law who arrived Sunday night (it was at the lowest point and I had already started saying my 'goodbyes' to family and friends .. ♪♫ I'm moving on up .. to the Eastside♪♫) will escape, unscathed from this dreaded affliction.
When Scrooge encountered the Ghost of Christmas Future, he exclaimed, "I fear you more than any spectre I have seen" ... "I am prepared to bear your company."
I can honestly say there are some things in life far more frightening than being visited by your dead partner and three other ghosts (that's a cakewalk) and nothing can adequately prepare you for it (although Phenergan does help with the nausea).
Being haunted by the stomach flu .. now that's scary.
