It turns out that Drew’s Sickness was the stomach flu and he very sweetly and thoughtfully gave it to me. And Daniel and I both got colds which turned into sinus infections while in the middle of the stomach flu epidemic.
This was my first time having the stomach flu and the recovery is almost just as bad as the throwing up every single hour for twenty four hours. For two days, I’ve been unable to BREATHE without severe pain in my chest, back, or shoulders. Ugh.
I think we’re on the mend now. And I’m glad this all happened before we started traveling. That would have been a level of horror I can’t even imagine.
Also, I think everyone must have had the stomach flu last week. We sat down to watch Jon Stewart being interviewed on Rachel Maddow and he spends a considerable amount of time talking about puking every hour.
I even saw it trending on Twitter at one point.
I am just immensely glad that it’s all over.
