stomach virus sucks

As I mentioned in my last post, Dave and I were headed to Nashville...and I was headed there with diarrhea problems. Well, it turned out NOT to be a once or twice occurrence...after about seven times to the toilet, doctor told me it was okay to take Tylenol for the fever and body aches and Imodium AD for the diarrhea. We headed to the airport at around 2:15, and as we stood in the security checkpoint line, I had to make a trip to the bathroom. Alas, the meds helped with the diarrhea issue, but I barfed my brains out...all the chicken noodle soup I ate, gone. And not the kine nice, normal barfing...this was the heaving my guts out, feel like my body convulsing, feel sorry for the lady in the next stall, loud, violent, five time heaving barfing. This process happened again three more times en route to Atlanta, then again at the hotel room after I tried to eat more chicken noodle soup. Overnight the fever broke, I woke up at around 12:30 and felt nauseous but no barf, and then all day today I've been gassy and nauseated, but no vomiting or diarrhea. The only other thing is that my abs and shoulders/back are aching because of the violent heaves. I was finally able to eat a semi-normal dinner, and now I'm just praying that it all stays down cuz crab cakes coming up might not taste too ono...I know, not the smartest choice, but it was one of the lighter choices at the restaurant we went to...
