I am not the only one that caught it

I am sick, with headaches and stomach aches. Since I was swabbed this week we can pretty much say I am covid free. But I was up all night with the dry heaves.
Another worker in the room caught it, too and was up all last night.
Another of our kiddos had to be taken to the ER for vomiting and dehydration. He does have covid, and norovirus.
I will not go to church tomorrow. I will cancel the dental appointment I have on Monday, but I may keep the CT in the afternoon.
Merry Christmas, I am glad you cannot catch it through the internet.

I am improving fast, but last night (Saturday) was still restless with headaches and other aches and pains.

Oh, it is. I feel sorry for my little guy as he is non verbal. He did not have any of the obvious diarrhea and vomiting, but he spent Thursday and Friday with less than normal appetite and rubbing his belly and patting and holding his head. I usually only get sick if he gets something.So I know he had it as well.

I am told this lasts 24-72 hours. I have been actively ill for about forty-eight. I think I am on the mend.

I think we are all going to be better after a clean break from each other. Of course we may go on visits and bring back new germs.

@gardengerty I’m glad too, but I wish you a speedy recovery. Being around kids you’re always going to catch stuff.

I always catch what my one on one student gets. He did not run a fever or have vomiting so although I suspected he felt unwell, I did not have proof until I got sick.

Sadly, I suspected my kiddo was sick but he had none of the exclusionary symptoms. He did have a reduced appetite, and periodically rubbed his stomach and growled, and sat and patted and rubbed his head. The fact that I developed symptoms proves that he was also sick.

It will not ruin Christmas. It will delay a coffee with a friend and postpone a dental appointment.

@shaggin I was sick through Sunday, and Monday took it easy. I wish the weight I lost had stayed away. Gained it right back.

@much2say It was a stomach bug. That never lasts as long as a cold, but I worry about giving it to others.

I am doing the right things, staying hydrated, etc. Not eating heavy foods. Shoot, not eating much at all. Soup is my friend.

I used to always have this type of illness at least once between Thanksgiving and New Years. I have not had it in a while. A little illness will not spoil my Christmas.
