Winter vomiting- Urgle!

[blackberry444]

I appear to have the winter vomiting virus.  Thrown up seven or eight times since 9.00 and can't even keep down water.  I'm drinking tiny sips of ginger ale mixed with mineral water, since ginger ale was something I could take when I had that horrible stomach thing on the cruise a couple of years ago, but it's not staying down.  At least I don't seem to have diarrhoea any more.  Not surprising really, as there can't be much left to get rid of.

I do hope I haven't passed it on to the family.  I've got Charles to disinfect the bathroom and the kitchen surfaces, but that might be a case of stable doors and bolting horses since apparently I will have been infectious for 48 hours before it manifested itself.  I've told Charles to throw out the half of a slow cooked leg of lamb left over from yesterday just in case.  What a terrible waste of delicious food!

Apart from anything else, it's so boring staying in bed as the surgery nurse told me to do.   At least it means I'm near the bathroom.  Going back to bed now.

Argh! Poor you! That sounds absolutely awful! As if you haven't got enough to contend with, without that...

I hope you feel better very soon and that nobody else gets it.

That's horrible. I've had a dose or two of it in recent years too. Take care, and I hope you're well again soon.

I'm not sure about being infectious 48 hours before you start puking, but you're likely to be infectious up to 48 hours after you stop. The 48 hours before is the incubation period, I think.

I hope you're feeling a lot better today. GWS.
