Feeling like Sunshine

Well, I'm not totally fine yet, but the major symptoms have stopped. I still have some minor gastritis (READ: GAS), but no more diarrhea--thank goodness.

Over the last 72 hours, I've completely lost track of how many "bathroom breaks" I've taken. However, one thing that is interesting to note is that I have lost 7 pounds.

Now, I know that most of this is probably water, but hey, if it isn't, I may have found a new, patent-able diet routine: the Norwalk Diet Plan.

Lose 6 pounds in 2 days through an intense regimen of fasting and purging--brought to you by the infamous Norwalk Virus. Thousands of people all over the world have tried it! It works!

Ahh, I can see the millions rolling in now. Bling! Bling!

I know I'm making light of the situation. I really shouldn't. Hell, there were times when I was so weak and dehydrated, I could barely take a sip of water. However, hindsight being 20|20, it's easy for me to poke fun at the experience, although I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. To have all four of the symptoms occuring at high frequency and intensity: Nausea, Diarrhea, Cramping, and Vomiting--it's crazy.

This will truly be a memorable Christmas Season.
