Last night, we had the last ever spring banquet, and then Keith and I and Renee and Matt went to Coldstone Creamery and World Market. At about the time when I got back to my dorm, my stomach started feeling a little queasy...so I drank some club soda and took some Pepto Bismol. I tried going to bed at about 1:30 am, but I couldn't sleep due to my upset stomach...so I decided to spend the night out in the living room couch so I could rush to the bathroom if I needed it. Turns out I did need it...I threw up a total of 3 times, and had many other countless times where I had diarrhea. I probably had to get up at least once every 20-30 mins to go to the bathroom. So I got no sleep last night. That had to be one of the most miserable nights I've ever had.
I thought last night that I had food poisoning, since I didn't really have any other symptoms, but now I'm thinking it's an actual bug. Today I've had chills, a slight feeling of an upset stomach, a temperature that at times got close to 102, and if I walk about 100 feet or so without sitting down I feel like I'm going to pass out. I called Keith, and fortunately he's not sick...I was really worried that I would have given it to him last night.
I've spent most of the day sleeping and confined to the living room couch. But the fortunate thing about all of this is that I can afford to take a day off to recover, since this week is lighter work-wise than last.
So, my concerns right now are that: 1) I hope I'm better for my final on Tuesday, 2) I hope I'm well enough to walk on Saturday, and 3) I hope I don't give this to any of my roommates.
I just checked the weather for Saturday, and unfortunately it's gonna be cold and rainy. That sucks. Especially since I'm having my family over to my house after the ceremony for a post-grad party. I hope the meteorologists have it wrong...
