I had hoped to spend Wednesday doing some more sorting out of the contents of the crates I took out of the now-defunct shed ... but it was not to be.
During Tuesday afternoon my stomach felt a bit queasy. I took some antacid but this seemed to have minimal effect. By the time I ate dinner at approximately 8.00pm I felt very bloated and uncomfortable, and nothing seemed to relieve the pain and discomfort. By 10.00pm my temperature was going up and down, and I decided that the best thing that I could do was to go to bed and to try to sleep.
I had been lying down for about ten minutes ... and then I had to rush to the bathroom where I was was violently ill several times. Afterwards I cleaned myself up and went back to bed ... but I woke up at 3.30am and was ill again. I finally managed to sleep through until just before 10.00am. When I woke up I had no appetite, a terrible headache, ached all over, and had a raging thirst. After a long shower and a shave I felt a bit better, and my condition gradually improved as the day went. I managed to eat some dry toast for breakfast and some chicken soup for lunch, and by late afternoon – and after a very pleasant hour or so dozing in front of the TV – my headache finally disappeared.
The twenty-four hour bug was very unpleasant whilst it lasted, but after a good night's sleep I feel almost back to normal ... and now I can get back to the contents of those crates!

Well, glad you're feeling better now!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Bob, that sounds quite unpleasant. Hope you are, by now, back to an even keel and feeling better. Cheers, M

Legatus Hedlius,
ReplyDeleteI am feeling a lot better than I was, but still have a bit of a way to go before I am back to 100% rude health.
All the best,
Bob
Michael Peterson,
ReplyDeleteIt was a very nasty little bug that came on quite quickly ... but which is not going quite as quickly. I was feeling much better this morning, but as the day has gone on I have begun to realise that I am not yet back to normal. Another day or so should see me completely well again ... I hope!
All the best,
Bob
Jim Duncan,
ReplyDeleteI am getting plenty of fluid (mainly water) but not quite as much rest as I had hoped I would. I am hoping that a good night's sleep will see me better by tomorrow.
All the best,
Bob
