Last week, while I was on vacation, my wife caught a stomach virus. I spent the better part of my week off taking care of her. She got pretty bad at times, and I tried to talk her into going to the emergency room a couple of times. She ended up missing several days of work, and as a matter of fact, she still hasn't gone back.

Well, through all of this I felt perfectly fine, which is unusual since we normally get sick at nearly the same time once one of us gets sick.

Last night was my first night back to work from vacation, and man was it busy, but I felt fine. Tonight promises to be a busy night as well, but the bad thing is, I'm sick now!
I woke up feeling fine. I got up, checked the forum, went downstairs and smoked a pipe, all was well. But as soon as I came back upstairs I got nauseous. I went to the couch to rest a little bit, and then it hit! I ran to the restroom and got very sick! So much for thinking I was in the clear!
So, it's off to work here in about half an hour, and I'm betting it's gonna suck!

Getting sick is the worst. I had the stomach virus every day for 15 years when I was an alcoholic drinker :)
Hope you feel better soon.

That sucks Petes. Hope you don't get the full blown version your wife did; that sometimes happens in our house. This time two years ago, though, the missus, daughter and me all contracted a norovirus. That sucked indeed.

Like you Natibo, glad I no longer have to suffer from the "Lager Flu". 30-odd years was more than enough. Good on ya! :clap:

Thanks guys! I just hope I can make it through the night, then I'll be off for a couple of days. So far I've. Been at work for an hour, and two trips to the crapper!

A trip to your primary care doc (or the ER, or a doc-in-the-box) might shorten your struggle. Some of these bugs,

you can only wait out. But others are at least shortened by meds.

Sounds like the standard stomach flu. Ususally 24 hours of vomiting and diarrhea, and a few days of just feeling weak. This too shall pass. sorry my friend, hope you feel better.
