meitantei_cjSo yeah, I picked up a great case of gastroenteritis at some point this week. Yesterday was the absolute WORST: I spent the entire day weak and shaky, running back and forth to the bathroom (which is thankfully right next to my room--I plan well ^^;), and sometime around 1pm, I had to call security and have them bring me to the nurse, because I couldn't walk there myself even though it's not far. She gave me Zofran and let me rest in their bed for about half an hour, then security dropped me back at the dorm. All in all, I think I threw up three or four times in two days and had no appetite, and couldn't even bring myself to drink anything. The nurse gave me a bottle of grape Gatorade and four popcicles with electrolytes in them. I'm feeling better now, except for the headache I've got, and I'm sort of back and forth on my appetite. I want real food, but at the same time, I don't. I'm taking it as a sign that I need to just wait a little longer before I dive back into actual food. I did make myself a grilled cheese sandwich (just one slice of cheese and no butter, not that I put butter on my grilled cheese sandwiches... Mom doesn't quite get that and calls them choke sandwiches ^^;), so at least I've eaten something. Thought about making another one, but didn't have the motivation to get up and walk across the room, heh.
I missed my last class on Thursday because of this thing, so I'll have to get the assignments I missed. Hoping this doesn't set me back at all. It'd only be like a day, but meh. I really didn't want to skip class, but it's a good thing I did, because during that class was the first vomitting episode.
Whatever this is has been going around campus, and tomorrow I'm going to Weis to get some disinfecting wipes, and I'm wiping down EVERYTHING. I will not get that bug again.
Sleep. I was supposed to post this like an hour ago. Distracted by internet. And the urge to eat something with some FLAVOR won out, and I finished off a small bag of nacho cheese Doritos that I accidentally popped open with my foot yesterday.
