I see Sphere got ahold of a knockdown dragout summer bug and it got me to remembering.
Normally I end up toughing it out until it’s back to normal but one time I laid practically motionless on the couch for a week. It was a big descision if I was going to get up to go to the fridge to get some OJ. Finally broke down and for the first time got some antibiotics from the doc.
Sounds like Sphere might have got some food poisoning. I recall stopping at a KFC awhile back with a buddy. As we were driving on the lot another buddy was just leaving in his truck.Pass by “Hey, how you doin’ kind of thing.
So we go in and he gets the buffet and I order something from the kitchen. Next day I find out from his wife that he is sick. I go see him and he is sick big as in sick sick sick.
Couple days later I see the other friend and he told me he had gotten so sick that night that he quote “thought I was going to die.”
That struck me as odd because these two guys didn’t know each other and the buddy I was with at the restaurant had also said the exact same words “I thought I was going to die”.
So I play junior detective and find out that not only did both those guys say the same thing but came down with it at the same time. And both guys had eaten from the buffet. I ordered from the kit and was ok.
That sounded like food poisoning to me from something on the buffet.
Ever since if I do a buffet somewhere I always check to make sure that puppy is cookin’ hot.
For what it’s worth guys, leave those lukewarm buffets alone.

man you could have sumptin there..
I chalk it up to employee's with kids in daycare..seems like kids get all the crud going around..all the time. If some well intentioned employee had a kid with the crud, and was not as well hygened as an employee ought to be..they become a typhoid Marvin
Food poisoning I've had..it sucks..if it now takes this form too, it may have morphed to act like a cold..either way, I agree..NO ONE wants this crud, winter,spring,summer or fall..(all ya got to do is ...crawl..LOL)
BTW..I'm a smoker..I blame myself.

We get far less sickness here since the kids grew up and out of school.
i've had food poisoning three times.
About 6-8 hours after the ingestion of the booby trapped food I am worried that I might die.
About an hour later, I wish that I could die.
Then another hour or two later and things start to get better...

That sounds like the virus that folks around here had this spring. I got it maybe ten weeks ago now and it came and went for three weeks or so. Two of my men were out for two weeks, one with walking pneumonia.
Mine turned into a bronchial infection and a sinus infection that took a double round of expensive antibios to kick.
by then, after what - six weeks of saying, "this is the worst cold I have ever had in my life" I wasfree of infection and fever, but my lungs were so inflamed that they were ripe for allergy seaason. I've never had more than a hint of allergies before, but with systems running low, it didn't ake much to make me understand what folks meant when they used the phrase, "suffering from allergies"! Gee Whiz, it's more than just a little runny nose.
So mine displayed as asthma and wheezing more than anything else. No ozygen means you really feel lazy.
So they give me this inhaler stuff and a breathing machine to puimp it in and then I'm wired so bad that two nights ago, I spent all night up doing book-keeping and minding the store here and never noticed how late it was 'till the sun started coming up. same anti wheezing meds were making the old ticker go wappedy flap too fast so they hid something else in there to slow it down...
I'll be alright. Really I will..
;)
So take care of yosef. BaD CAN GET WORSE if you don't.

My last go round ended up with a 911 trip to the ER. Made the call when I realized I couldn't do it.
Dehydration.
The volunteer fire dept. came out to drag my sorry #### off this mountain, didn't want an ambulance stuck up here. Halfway to town, after saline IV, I was feeling pretty good. DW was freaking out in S Carolina at a trade show. The cat yawned.
Water. Keep drinking. Necessary.
Good luck. PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
