Nope, it's not stomach flu.
Food poisoning.
They don't know exactly what bacteria, since I couldn't get a sample (yes, THAT kind of sample...) out at the doctor's this morning, but she felt my abdomen, took my temperature (a raging 101 at 10am, a more tolerable 99 at 10:30am after 1000mg of Tylenol), and asked tons of questions. I can't figure out what it was that caused this, but as there hasn't been a rash of other grad students coming in complaining, it can't have been the food served at Friday's orientation. As David isn't sick, it's probably something only I ate. So I'm quite puzzled.
But anyway, I'm on Cipro for five days (huzzah...) and a stern admonition for bed rest and plenty of fluids. I should feel better tonight if the Cipro is the right thing.
Which is good, because school starts TOMORROW. At least I'm not teaching this year, so I don't have to struggle through a section on Friday.
Just an audition.
Eek.
