I am so sick.
I suspect food poisoning, but I don't know what the culprit was. Alex is fine, but we did eat slightly different things.
Got sandwiches from a place near work, but when we got home discovered they weren't no mayo. I can't eat mayo - I hate it, and I hate that I hate it to the point I can't even put up with it on something - so I left it for Alex for another meal. I scavenged a couple bits of the sandwich filling to put on my own roll of bread. That was fairly small, so I also heated up some leftover rice.
About two hours later, I felt like I wanted to die. It's now about 25 hours later, and I still feel like I want to die.
The roll was the last of a package we'd just eaten from a day or two before. The rice was only leftover from Tuesday. The sandwich bits wouldn't explain why Alex is fine.
Yesterday mostly felt like pressure and bloating, but very painful. I only slept about an hour, maybe, and that pretty broken up. I was just too uncomfortable to really drop off.
I had to go to work - no real choice - because it was a new person's first day of training, and the first of a class series... Then an instructor called out sick, and it was pretty much just a really rough day. It felt like it took forever.
I haven't been able to eat anything - the thought of trying to swallow anything makes me gag. I haven't actually thrown up, but I kind of almost wish I would, in case it would make me feel better. I've sipped at about 3/4 of a bottled smoothie over the course of the day. I am SO THIRSTY, but even liquids make me queasier.
Now it's less pressure and more just pain. It's a steady maybe 5/10, like I cannot ignore it, but it's not too horrible. Then it spikes to an 8/10 as it feels like every internal bit just cramps at once. Not my actual abdominal muscles, but everything inside.
It's awful. I hate it. I can't get comfortable. I keep getting chills and then hot flashes, and every hair on my body hurts.
I also can't take tomorrow off - another class, I'm solo.
I want to maybe take a hot bath, see if that helps things relax any, but I also just want to try and get any sleep possible. I'm exhausted, and dehydrated, and I can't fix either one effectively right now!
I rate this a zero out of ten stars. I do not recommend it.
