I'm hungry for the first time since Tuesday night
and I actually drank 1/2 bottle of water without getting sick.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but could this possibly mean that I'm getting better?

I think I'll slap a tiny bit of butter on my one piece of toast to celebrate!

:woohoo:

1. Wake the kids and call the neighbors!
Edited on Sat Dec-17-05 08:50 PM by GOPisEvil
Well, if I HAD kids I'd wake them, and if I knew my neighbors' phone number I'd call them. ;)

I really hope the worst is behind you. :party::woohoo:

Can Spaghetti-o's be far behind? ;)

7. Let's make it through 24 hours of bread AND butter.
After that, I think saltines will be safe.

10. I am GLAD!

Take care of yourself, OK?

11. Actually, that would be the one upside
I lost 5 pounds in 5 days. Unfortunately, I'm sure they'll come right back when I start eating again. x(

Ah well. I'd rather be chubby and healthy than deal with this crap for much longer.

I'm going back to work tomorrow, I figure I've taken more than enough time off since it's a new job and all. I'm not exactly digging ditches, so I'm sure it will be fine.

12. I hope you'll have a nice, quiet day.......
Be ready to go home if you get all tired or something, OK?

OK, OK, now I sound like your mom!

But I hate to see my friends working when they're under the weather....

14. hahaha, no actually
my mom sounds more like this: "Are you still alive? You got to the doctor ok, right? I mean, you didn't wait forever, did you? Do you want me to fly out there? Really honey, please go to the doctor (AGAIN) if you don't feel way better tomorrow. Did I mention that I could fly out there? Cuz I could. But I'll see you in a week. And if you're not better, you're not going back out there..." and so on. ;)

If I honestly don't feel better tomorrow, I'll call in sick AGAIN. Hopefully not though.

Thanks for your concern! :hug: :loveya:

20. Most big grocery stores have it. Look in aisle with oriental foods
It is very good for various stomach problems. Ginger also good anti-inflamitory. There are capsules (health food stores) for those who really don't like ginger.

Very good for motion sickness. Really. I mean it is amazing and won't make you drowsy.

Good to add grated or dried ginger to foods. Helped a pal who had the WORST morning sickness... only it was all day sickness for weeks. Made a chicken dish with LOTS of ginger and garlic. First meal she kept down in weeks and also the end of her morning sickness.

Ginger is our friend!

27. Went through a couple rough years and was never without it in the house.
It has some good minerals too. Keeps forever!

18. I feel your pain
I was really sick in November - not fun.

Feel better soon. Don't make your first real meal a spicy curry dish - it was a mistake.
