That is all.

[AirmensMom]

1. Aw, u4ic, I'm sorry.

:hug: I hope you feel better soon.

[u4ic]

4. Thanks, AirmensMom

:hug:

The worst is over; now I'm just feeling very weak and hungry. I've got a pot of soup heating up, hopefully I'll feel a bit better after I eat something.

[AirmensMom]

26. I hate the weakness part.

I hope the soup helps. :hug:

Got your email ... will answer soon. Great pics! :loveya: :hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Aww, I'm sorry!

I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

[u4ic]

5. Thanks, Rev

Me, too! :hug:

[auntAgonist]

3. that's awful :(

I'm sorry you're under the weather my friend. :hug:
I'd make you a bit of chicken soup and get you some pillows and a blanket if we lived closer together.

Thanks. :hug: :loveya:

I'll just have to pamper myself. I'll be fine soon.

But boy, does it take the wind outta you...x(

[GenDem]

7. I can commiserate completely

I started on Friday night and am just starting to feel better. There has been a lot of it around here. :(

Feel better!!!!!

[u4ic]

10. I hope you're right as rain tomorrow

Sorry to hear you've been down with it, too. :hug:


Yeah, it's been going around here. I'm at the tail end of the outbreak.


Thanks. :hi:

[GenDem]

16. Got sick Friday night right at the beginning of the weekend

Spent all day Saturday in my pajamas. Unpleasant symptoms have now subsided. All that's left is a dull headache and a weak spirit -- just in time to go back to work tomorrow. :banghead:

I hope it doesn't last too long with you!:hug:

[u4ic]

18. Ugh

:(

I hope next weekend is extra special for you, thus making up for this crappy one. :pals:


I had barely 2 hours sleep last night when woken up by it. The worst of it was over by 8 am, and have spent much of the day in bed. Now I'm just bored. Too weak and tired to do anything, but my mind's racing. I had a lot of plans for today.

They'll just have to wait.

[GenDem]

23. I had three things I had to cancel this weekend.

One was a book signing with Chuck Schumer, I still ended up with a signed book thanks to a friend.

And today is the kickoff for Catholic Schools week. I was suppose to be in church with my colleagues, way down front. Well, way down front and far from a bathroom just didn't cut it, besides the overall weakness and the dull headache. I actually gave out a warning to my principal that if I'm not better tomorrow I would be staying home.

The problem is that I feel really guilty laying around even when I know that I'm incapacitated. Can relate to the mind racing, too.

I did get out a couple hours ago, but it was because one of my dogs started acting very strange. We had to rush her to the vets. She came home with us, but still isn't acting right. Could be mini seizures. Now I'm bumming over that.

Hope you get some sleep tonight. I drank a lot of peppermint tea--it settled my stomach. Keep the fluids going in, you don't want to dehydrate.:pals:

[u4ic]

27. Your dog is beautiful

I hope that it's nothing serious.

Peppermint tea, on a good day, will make me nauseous. Don't know why, mint teas don't agree with me. I've got some ginger root, I'll stew some of that. I'm drinking water like there's no tomorrow, so I don't think dehydration will be an issue. :hi:

[sakabatou]

8. Partial amnesia sucks...

[u4ic]

12. That would, too

:( :hi:

[sakabatou]

28. Good news:

It's coming back!

[u4ic]

38. That is good news!

:toast:

(was it a concussion or stroke?)

[two gun sid]

9. Get well soon, u4ic.

[u4ic]

13. Thanks, sid

How have you been? Still got your horses?

[two gun sid]

14. Been pretty well...

still got the horses and still losing money but, shit, what else you gonna do with it? I'm happy. Got some babies due in April.

If you ever get out east stop at the farm. We'll put you to work.

[u4ic]

17. Happy is the most important thing

Horses will always take your money. We love 'em in spite of that.


Lol. If I'm ever down your way, will do... ;-)

And good luck with the babies!

[billyskank]

11. ...

:hug:

[u4ic]

15. billy!

It's so good to see you, hon.

Thanks for the hug. :hug: :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

19. I had it last week.

I won't bore you with symptoms, except to say that I had the most heinous burps I've ever smelled in my life. My burps made me gag, and then the whole, um, process would start all over.

It lasted for four days. I felt achy and gross.

I don't know if you have the same bug I had, but lemme tell you, it was almost as bad as having the flu.

:hug:

[u4ic]

20. Yikes!

I didn't have it quite that bad, or for that long. (maybe I should refrain from saying that until I know it's fully over...)

I've got those aches too, and the chills. I'm walking like Frankenstein today.


Sorry you went through that. Glad you're feeling better now. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

21. And Blows!

:puke: chow

yuck

sorry you're sick

x(

hope you are feeling much better!

[u4ic]

24. Ooooo

Trying to avoid the puke smiley today. x(

Thanks. I'm starting to feel pretty weak again, I think it's time to lay down. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

29. Oh Sorry

lie down

feel better :hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. I'm sorry.

:hug:

[u4ic]

25. Thanks, SA

:hug:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

30. awww sweetie

:hug: I wish I could make you feel better :*

[u4ic]

34. You just did

:hug: :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

31. I'm sorry u4ic

I hope you feel better soon :hug:

[u4ic]

35. I'll live...

Thanks, hon. :hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

32. Feel better soon...

...:hug:

[u4ic]

36. Thanks,

I intend to. :-)


:hug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

33. Aw sweetie!

Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Feel better!

[u4ic]

37. Thanks, fsc

I'm not a fan of feeling this crappy, that's for sure...

:hug:

[lavenderdiva]

39. I'm sorry you were under the weather this weekend

and hope you are on the mend. Take good care of yourself... Here's a hug: :hug:

[u4ic]

41. Thanks, lavenderdiva

:hug:

How have you been? It's great to see you around! :hi:

[momophile]

40. me and family, including my 17 mo. old, had it 2 weeks ago

I totally feel for you. Hope I didn't give it to you.

[u4ic]

42. I'm sure it wasn't you

;)


I guess the good thing is it's (for the most part) over for all of us. :pals:

[Shine]

43. Poor baby.

:hug: hope everything comes out ok. :evilgrin:

Sorry.

Seriously, I'm wishing you a speedy recovery.

[u4ic]

45. Well, let's say

it came out. ;-)

Thanks, Shine. Except for some weakness, I'm feeling better today. :hug:

[Shine]

53. Glad to hear it.

I'm sure you must already know this, but just in case, ginger tea is great for neaseua. (gawd I can never spell that word!) you know what I mean. :)

[u4ic]

56. I always have ginger root on hand

I just stew it and drink it, whether I'm well or not. I love it. :-)

[Shine]

59. Huh, that's interesting.

you Medicine Woman, you! :hug:

Hey, I do hot water with fresh squeezed lemon juice every morning. Aren't you thrilled? :D

[u4ic]

63. If you add a little olive oil

to the lemon juice and water, it's supposed to help support your gall bladder. :-)


The ginger root is good for digestion - which is why it's so prominent in Asian dishes.

:hug:

[Shine]

73. Funny you should mention gall bladder.

Turns out my mom is having hers removed next week, due to gall stones recently discovered and years of debilitating "attacks" she gets which are extremely painful. I think it's a hereditary thing. Her Dad had those sorts of problems, too. I've been fairly lucky. She's only 20 yrs older than me.

Anyway, send good thoughts! :hi:

[u4ic]

74. Lots of good thoughts and vibes

to your mom, Shine. :grouphug:



I hope you don't ever have to deal with it...:hug:

[speedoo]

44. I'm sorry u4ic.

It really does suck, and I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

[u4ic]

46. Thanks, speedoo

My stomach's settled a lot today. Other than weakness, I'm feeling better today. :hug:

[speedoo]

62. Best news I've heard all day!

I'm sure you'll feel even better tomorrow. :hug:

[leftofthedial]

47. sorry you're sick u4ic. Not to quibble during your discomfort, but

to be precise, the stomach flu blows.

[u4ic]

50. It does

x(

[ThomCat]

48. I hope it passes quickly.

:(

Please feel better soon. :hug:

[u4ic]

51. Thanks, ThomCat

It's only one of those 24 hr ones, so for the most part, it's gone. :hug:

[buddhamama]

49. aww, it does suck. :(

i am sorry you have it, u4ic. i was infected with a nasty cold last week, not the flu though, thank goodness.

sending good vibes, hon, for healing and wellness. take good care of You! :loveya: :hug: :hi: :hug:

[u4ic]

54. Thank you, dear one!

Tis the time of year, I guess. I hope you're over your cold. They're never fun, either. :hug:


:hug: :loveya: :hi:

[Zavulon]

52. Welcome to my world.

I'm on a strict diet of white rice, chicken broth, ginger ale and jello.

Yum. Hold me back. :sarcasm:

[u4ic]

55. Ugh...

Sorry to hear it's bitten you, too. :hug:

I can't have ginger ale - it tastes like barf to me. Too many associations with it and the stomach flu. :scared:

[Zavulon]

57. What do you drink, then?

Amazingly, plain ol' water upsets my stomach. I actually need carbonation to hold down anything, which means I'm buriping like a howitzer. Sucks.

[u4ic]

58. That's all I can drink,

water, and sometimes a bit of stewed ginger tea.

I don't gulp water, just sort of let it moisten my mouth.

The worst of it, for me, is usually over in 4 or 5 hours, so perhaps we're comparing apples and oranges.

Hope you feel better soon.:hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

60. You are a master of understatement, my friend!

I hope you feel better soon! :hug::hug::hug:

[u4ic]

64. Thank you Goddess

my stomach is acting up a bit tonight, but I'll be fine. :hug:

[ulysses]

61. oh yes indeed it does.

Felt your pain 2 weeks ago.

[u4ic]

65. Sorry you had to deal with it, too

:hug:

[wildhorses]

66. feel better soon

and yeah it sucks ass:hug:

[u4ic]

68. You're a miracle worker

because I do! :P


It was one of those 24 hr bugs. I'm feeling much better today. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

67. Better Yet?

had it a couple of weeks ago

haven't gotten my immune system back right since either.

Hope you are well today.

[u4ic]

69. I am

Thanks. :)

Here's hoping you feel better soon. It sounds like it really threw you for a loop. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

71. Thanks

I also can blame not sleeping for it

and spending too much damned time here no doubt (as graywarrior points out)


:hug:

[Lautremont]

70. I Hope Everything Comes Out All Right In The End.
