I am praying for the sweet release of death.

[zanne]

I have the flu virus from Hell. My head has finally cleared up enough and the room is not spinning as badly so I decided to check my eamil and come to DU to beg for pity. Please give generously.

[jobycom]

1. yeah, yeah, yeah, hope u feel better. Vibes, the whole shebang. Now, back to the shoes.

:P

[zanne]

2. Have you no compassion for the intestinally challenged? nt

[jobycom]

3. More than everyone else, so far.

:rofl:

[zanne]

4. Sigh. Alone and bereft, I must shuffle back to my living room sofa...

To puke into a bucket.

[jobycom]

5. Wow, this is almost Hemingway-esque.

Really do sympathize, despite my smart-ass nature. :fistbump:

[Dangerously Amused]

6. Alone. In the rain.

*giggle* JOBYCOM started it!!!!1!!



Okay, seriously. I do hope you feel better, and soon.

[zanne]

13. No rain, but there's snow coming.

Something else you can pity me for.

[jobycom]

32. Heh!

Blame me, fear me, worship me!

[SoxFan]

7. So that explains the horking sound I heard from da west side dere.

[zanne]

12. It got so bad, I almost trew myself down de stairs. nt

[SoxFan]

19. LOL

:rofl:

Hope your feeling better.

[lizziegrace]

8. You have my pity

I had it last week. :hug:

It was miserable.

[zanne]

15. Thank you to the one truly compassionate person on DU...

The next time you're sick, let me know and I'll have pity for you, too.

[lizziegrace]

20. Norovirus

ya just wanna die.

:hug:

Oh, and I'll let you know. I have a feeling it's going to be a long winter here. ;)

[Missy Vixen]

9. The sickness, she is a bitch

I'm still recovering from the "cold" I had, which necessitated antibiotics. :mad:

You have my every sympathy, because this crap is the WORST.

Julie

[Arkansas Granny]

10. How much pity do you need? I'll try to cover it. I'm recovering from some kind

of bug myself. I keep thinking that I feel almost human in the morning, but I sure start to fade in the afternoons.

[KamaAina]

11. So, is your eamil okay?

so I decided to check my eamil

What's an eamil? Is that a New England thing? A cross between an emu and a camel, perhaps? :-)

Your Hawaiian Phrase of the Day is: malama pono (take care of yourself).

[zanne]

14. Nobordy like a smatass, Kama. nt

[KansDem]

18. Hey, having an eamil is no laughing matter!

I had my doctor check my eamil once. He prescribed medicine and told me to lighten up with the night life some.

[KansDem]

16. Remember Dante's message above the entrance to Hell...

All hope abandon, ye who enter here

I hope this helps. Get better soon...

[guitar man]

17. you have my sympathy

I had it bad a couple weeks ago. I was actually happy when I shit my pants because at least I wasn't throwing up. x(

:hug:

[zanne]

21. Now that's a nasty case of the flu.

So far, I've been able to get myself to the bathroom. My husband has been great about it, though. I never get the flu or a cold so it really threw him. He's been housecleaning and even feeding the cats! He gets kudos from me for doing all that. I've done alot of stupid things in my life, but I married the right guy.

[guitar man]

22. that's good to hear

that he is being a sweetie. I ws alone when I came down with it, I work in a different city than where I live, so I have a small travel trailer where I stay while I work. The bathroom in the trailer is right next to the bed, and when it first hit, I could not make it from the bed to the bathroom before I threw up. It was really bad :(

And to add insult to injury, I absoulutely had to be at work the next day, there was no way around it. I was one miserable pup :(

[zanne]

28. Ugh.

I can't imagine going to work feeling like that. How can you even concentrate? My brain has been mush the last couple of days.

[Jamastiene]

23. If it that monstrosity I had a few weeks ago that would NOT let up for a week,

you have ALL my sympathy for tonight. If not, I know it could still be bad. I hope you get well soon. :hug:

[zanne]

31. Thank you, Jamastiene. nt

[jbane]

24. theraflu

warm and relaxing, try it and I know your day of feeling better is at hand my friend.

[Jamastiene]

25. Theraflu is great.

That is what finally made me stop whining when I had that monstrosity of mine a couple weeks ago.

[yellowdogintexas]

26. just saw this, you are now in the 'wish I had died 'stage of flu

this also applies to intestinal virus infections and food poisoning

first you think you are going to die
then you wish you had.

Hope you feel better very soon.

[Blue_Tires]

27. you'll beat it...and i know of what you speak

reminds me of my own 'pray for death' moment of sickness: i was a substitute teacher and there was a horrible stomach virus spreading around the school (in fact, they closed the school for a couple of days because there were that many students and teachers absent)...

for three days, i did nothing but vomit an exponential proportion of what i actually ate, and crapped water (and i mean i crapped perfectly clear, odorless water)...

as if that wasn't enough, they gave me antibiotics to fight it, and while i beat the virus, all my time on the toilet gave me hemorrhoids and a bad side reaction to the antibiotics gave me a case of jock itch that was even more agonizing than the virus...all-in-all i was messed up for another three weeks....

[mykpart]

29. I'm one of those people who got the flu last year

even though I had gotten a flu shot. Nyquil is your friend. Make sure you drink fluids (hot tea is nice) and eat something. You won't feel like doing either. Sending lots of warm hugs your way. But you will survive.

[zanne]

30. Thank you, mykpart....

I'm on day four now, so the little men in my head aren't banging away with their hammers anymore, though my stomach is still unsettled and my ribs hurt when I laugh. I think I'll take you up on the Nyquil. There's nothing worse than being sick and awake late at night. Alone. In the dark.

[hedgehog]

33. Can we discuss flu shots on this thread?

[puerco-bellies]

34. I have just a hint of my 7 week ordeal with this bug..

Thanks for taking this from me.. Enjoy the next couple of months.

[zanne]

35. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
