Silliness So what are you doing RIGHT NOW? - Page 251

RickyMaveety · 03-24-2009, 01:34 PM

Just had a real shower!! And, I didn't get dizzy (much) the whole time.

Also just about to tuck into a nice big bowl of rice. I am so looking forward to more than just a nibble of solid food.

I have the AC turned down very very low, which is helping quite a bit. I find I don't get as nauseous when I'm freezing.

Still on analgesics because I still have a bit of a fever ... but not too bad. Only 2 degrees above my normal.

Good signs Ricky.

Sadly, the rice experiment was a horrible mistake. At this moment, I am paying for it dearly.

So, nothing quite as daring as plain white rice on the menu quite yet.

Rats.

Arghh! And here that sounded like such a good idea!! Bummer.

This does sound a wee bit protracted to be food poisoning. Isn't that usually gone when the tummy empties itself entirely? (or maybe I've never had a bad case...)

Hope improvement comes more quickly.

Time frame is more like norovirus. Be sure to tell your doctor's nurse that you've been having N/V/D when you go in so they can treat you like a pariah.

Depends on what bacteria caused the food poisoning I think - the yeti had a really bad case a few years ago

Ricky - hope you can eat again soon - and no taking showers if you feel dizzy - bad idea!

nekokami · 03-24-2009, 09:03 PM

Bleah. White rice is usually ok!

How about plain broth?

Or the BRAT diet (bananas rice apples toast)

My one bout with "regulation" Salmonella food poisoning was a day in hell followed by feeling pretty OK by the next day. That is also what my neighbor had ... I just talked to her husband and she was fine by day two.

So, this does sound like something viral .... or bacterial maybe, but probably not Salmonella. And, I'm not sure that any bout of Salmonella poisoning isn't a "bad case." They are pretty much all hell on wheels. Shigella isn't any walk in the park either. Trust me.

Yeah, I'll do that. It should be fun to see how quickly they kick me out of the office. "Unclean!! Unclean!!"

I wonder if they'll make me wear a bell??

I was smelling positively ripe. I was at a point where being this close to me was making me feel even worse. At least the shower has a nice seat in it, so I don't have to stand the whole time I wash.

I wish I had some. The green tea is staying down, so right now, I'm sticking with that. Having the AC turned down is helping a lot. I do better when my head is cold, but my body is warm. So, I've got a layer of quilts and cats on top of me with my head all nice and chilled.

I walked along with the dog walker this evening. I wanted to see if I could make the whole walk ... and I did, but I was pretty close to passing out by the time we made it home.

The thing was, one of my neighbors brought me a really sweet stray dog last night, and so animal control came by this afternoon to see if it had a chip (with the understanding that they were NOT authorized to take it to the local shelter, but to leave it where it was), which it didn't ... but then I was either going to have to try to walk three dogs by myself, or to walk the stray while the dog walker walked my two girls. And, that's what we did ... and what I suppose we'll do tomorrow as well.

I do hope we can find a good home for him soon. He's a beautiful and sweet Golden Retriever / Chow mix (we think) and very friendly. Clearly dumped out here ... he was in pretty bad shape, and very hungry, when my neighbor brought him to me.

New Red in a minute..... Kinda slow but necessary...

Patricia · 03-24-2009, 09:36 PM

Not slow at all, RSE. Those socks are really getting me intrigued.

More suprises to come...But I am having to study/review to a potential technical interview. One company is trying to work me for a Milwalkee Wisconsin suburb contract, and another may pop up locally in a couple of days here. I have to give this a priority over Red, as I haven't pulled a paycheck since June 1, 2008...

Patricia · 03-24-2009, 09:50 PM

Good luck, RSE. We'll be thinking of you.

RickyMaveety · 03-24-2009, 10:01 PM

Absolutely, RSE!! I hope it goes well for you.
