Stomach Flu!

Yep, I have been MIA because I have been in bed and on the bathroom floor since Thursday night. I got home from class on Thursday and felt dizzy and hot, my stomach started to hurt right as I was getting into bed and about 5 minutes later I was in the bathroom. I felt fine up until it hit so I was sure it must have been something I ate. Friday I felt okay to go to work, about 5 minutes after I ate my breakfast I was running to the bathroom.
Needless to say I was at home Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday with little energy and feeling like crap! I still feel a little dizzy and my stomach is still very tight, but I have been able to keep food down for 24 hours so I am on the mend! One of my co-workers got the same bug and he is still a little woozy from it, hopefully by tomorrow I will at least feel 90%.
I pushed myself this weekend. I was so excited to have Rosie stay at my house that I tried to ignore how horrible I felt. I got through Saturday fine and then Sunday morning I gave in and asked my Dad to watch her. I cried when I dropped her off at my Dads because I know she could tell I was leaving her and she hugged me so tight. She also could tell I didn't feel great, she kept touching my face and putting her head against mine. She was such an angel.
Well, I haven't been eating much, but I got on the scale this morning and I was up a pound
...WTF??? Hopefully since I am eating again it will drop back down for WI tomorrow.

I hope you feel better soon!!! And I hope poor Rosie didn't get it. That story is just so sweet. You are such a great aunt!!! You can tell that she just adores you. :) Feel better and don't worry about the scale! :)

Hope you feel better soon. We've been battling the same thing. It's pretty much hit everyone in the family in one fashion or another. Luckily, I haven't gotten the worst of it!

The gain is probably fluid from being - you poor thing! You were so excited about having Rosie and I'm sure we was just as excited about spending the weekend with you.....stinks that you got cut short! Well glad that you are up and about now but take it easy on yourself. You need to be completely well for Turkey Day next week.
