Got home from a normal Friday choir practice on 28th, thought, hmmm don't feel too good, headed up to the bathroom and fainted.
A split second later struggled up and thought, "I'm going to be sick".
TMI Warning
Was immediately overwhelmed by a tsunami of vomit and (simultaneously) diarrhoea.
Well I did warn you. Those of SQUEAMISH NATURE read no further.
This ghastly state of affairs lasted at fairly frequent intervals until early Monday morning.
Having sipped cooled boiled water for 48 hours I thought I'd risk a cup of cool tea. Mistake!
Later in the day I ate a ginger biscuit (stem ginger) knowing ginger to be good for stomach problems. It took me 10 minutes to eat it (felt like a 2 course meal) and, wonder of wonders it stayed put.
Since then the flood seems to have abated and (between 3 minute sessions of cleaning up the bathroom and washing nighties etc I have spent my time lying down or trying possibilities like a two-egg omelette made in the microwave so no fat would be involved (stayed put), and an occasional
cup of tea interspersed with boiled water.
Without exaggeration this is the worst I've ever felt, but thankfully living alone I have not had to inflict the more sordid aspects on anyone else.
Luckilly for me, I have the constitution of an ox and once the evil bug has departed am back to my version of normal very quickly.
Where it came from (or whom) I have no idea, perhaps someone is trying to tell me to give up choir.
I know you don't need to say it, "she doesn't post for 6 weeks and this is the best she can do".
One small consolation I've lost 6 pounds in weight.
No I am not reccommending it.
Was it norovirus?
