Default Another little life lesson

My wife was VERY sick the last few weeks. It started with an all-over outbreak of hives that just wouldn't go away. We went to the ER, then to an allergist (who took 14 vials of blood), then to her general practitioner in the course of a week. Turned out she contracted gastrointeritis, which was causing the steroid treatments (for the hives) not to work. She finally got the right combination of medicines and is doing much better now.

And now for the life lesson:

Gastrointeritis is contagious!

(Don't ask me how I know)

Imagine having what feels like bloated gas pain that won't go away. Add to that stomach cramps. Sprinkle in a little nausea. Then serve with a wicked case of "the Hershey Squirts".

I can't say I recommend it.

That sucks, hope you get better soon. Only thing worse is when your two month old and 4yr old are both sick at the same time and it's coming out both ends;that happened to me about two weeks ago!!!

Dude, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemies. I'm taking this stuff called Protonix that the doctor gave my wife, but it's only to help settle your stomach so you can eat and be somewhat functional. The nausea is annoying, since I'm just well enough to get up and read, play around on the computer, etc., but not well enough to go play with my car or any fun stuff.

Plus, when I do hit the throne room, it's a lot of sound and fury, then...poop. WTF is that?!

Reminds me of what my grandfather used to say:
Here I sit, so broken hearted.
Tried to ****, but only farted.
