Recovering from a Christmas Illness

I came down with a nasty stomach bug Wednesday evening. I'm still not quite better but I'm feeling far better than I did Wednesday night/Thursday morning where I was lucky if I got four hours of sleep total between 9pm and 9am. I was getting up multiple times an hour to use the bathroom. Before I went to bed I had the chills so I tried a hot shower which was working, but vomit has a way of wrecking a good shower. Then my kidneys and lower back were hurting so I started in on drinking water for the kidneys, which helped. Then I took a couple alive for the back and I managed to get a couple hours uninterrupted sleep.

Yesterday I subsided on vitamin water, regular water, and saltine crackers. Again many trips to the bathroom all day yesterday as well and spent a good 80% of my day in bed.

Today I'm feeling quite a bit better but still not great, trips to the bathroom are not quite as frequent but its the same stuff each time i go...

So I haven't done much of anything with my extra days off aside from lay around sick and miserable.

I'm doing much better today. I was feeling quite a bit better yesterday but still not great, mostly tired and in a bit of a mental fog.

I've been eating normal foods. Though still not as much as I'd normally would have eaten but still much better than the last several days.

So the return to work shouldn't be a problem tomorrow.
