Violently ill

Last night, from midnight and up till three o’clock today I have experienced what I think is one of the worse days of my life as far as my health is concerned. A few days ago I was talking about feeling out of sorts but that was nothing compared to last night. At first I thought I was having another bout of trapped wind, bad enough by itself but I am now certain it was food poisoning. I had a severe pain in my stomach which just wouldn’t go away. In fact it got progressively worse as the night wore on.Overnight I visited the toilet twelve times and vomited five times. I spent the whole night suffering a constant pain and could not even lie down it was so bad. That meant absolutely no sleep. Towards the dawn the pain moved down into my intestines but I was still feeling pain in my stomach too. All I could do was to try and drink water to help flush out my system. The water caused me to vomit which was a good thing if I had food poisoning. It wasn’t until two in the afternoon that I began to feel anything like human again. I have not left my bedroom except to visit the toilet. Fortunately I have drinking water at my bedroom hand-basin so didn’t need to go far to replenish my glass. I popped downstairs at three thirty this afternoon to collect my lap-top computer so I could at least have something to do. I hope I didn’t disturb the other people in the house with my constant groaning, thirteen hours of it! I know I was fed up moaning but believe me I couldn’t help myself! Nothing except water has passed my lips on the inward journey, not even my hormones! The sickness was that bad! I shan’t be taking anything at all until tomorrow morning at least, I don’t wish a relapse that’s for sure. Hopefully I will be alright by then. Now I am switching off my computer and having a belated sleep if I can manage it.

Ouch, you have my sympathies. I hope the worst is now behind you.

Hi Jenny. Thank you. Believe me sweetheart if you knew me that well you would know I almost never complain too much about feeling ill but that night was enough to drive anyone bonkers! It is now almost nine o’clock on Friday morning and I still have pains in my abdomen (I think a good number two should clear it! LOL). I am still not yet in the mood to eat but may take a hot milk later. Yesterday we received delivery of all those materials we bought on Wednesday but there’s no way I’ll be doing any work for another day or two. Love
