Stomach Flu (April 2021 Edition)

[TGO David]

Apparently a very contagious variant of the stomach flu is making its rounds these days.  It hit my household on Sunday and by Monday morning everyone had it.

I'll say that this was worse than my encounter with COVID-19.  At least COVID didn't have me sitting on the toilet with a trash can in my lap.  I am pretty sure I puked up my own socks by the time it was over.

 

 

10/10 would not recommend.  Avoid it at all costs.  Save yourselves.

Grandson (13) had it during spring break vacation in Snow Shoe Montana. The rest of his family did not get it. He was out of sorts for 2 days.

I had this some time last year, coming out both ends, not fun. Did go away in 24 to 36 hours.

We had one last week, I had it very much the worst.  After about 30 hrs with nothing to eat, I passed out while dry heaving into the bathroom sink. The noise of me hitting the floor at 4am woke my wife up.  That was a fun conversation.  I finally started to feel better later that day. Not the most fun I've had since college.

My kids have been sick this past week. And I’m supposed to head to the house. Haha. 
 

Anyone want to place bets on whether I get it?

Almost my experience.   I fell asleep at 3-something A.M. with my head against the wall near the toilet.  At some point I was really wondering where it was all coming from.

Eh, sick at home with the kids is better than well on the road away.

I drank water to have something to work with.
