O What A Night

Alas, I do not refer to the doowop classic by The Dells. I refer to a night of hell orchestrated by the gods of digestion and/or viruses.

Went to bed at 10, feeling good. 30 mins. later, stomach cramps. And then I am puking my guts out, which I repeated every hour or so for the next ten hours! 10 of hell, 50 recovery, through the long night. I didn't know humans could puke up so much. Terrible. H, 20 years with me, had never seen me sick like this.

In the morning, the sessions stretched out, every two hours. I last got sick at 9 but don't feel done yet.

No other symptoms, so likely not the flu virus going around. Maybe a bad oyster at breakfast.

The pits. But slowly improving.
