My sister, Kitty, has been sick with a stomach virus for the last 2 days, and she just got over it today. Last night she took a shower, and I changed her sheets and blankets and pillow and pillowcase so she would not have any contact with virus-laden things while she was recovering from her illness. Last night, when we went to bed, my stomach started to cramp and burn just like Kitty's. I briefly dozed for about twenty minuets, then my stomach began to bubble and groan. I tried to ignore it, but it was like an elephant in the kitchen, it was just to big to ignore. I then felt a large wave of nausea and immediately jumped on top of Kitty, who was sleeping in my room for the night, and vomited into the bucket that was put in my room for Kitty, not me. I felt better after I vomited, but my stomach soon began to cramp again. And the cycle continued all night. after a while, I did not have anything left to throw up, so it was like gagging, but it was more like puking. And now, here I am, sick as a dog with a virus that I received from taking care of Kitty. Ugg! Why is it that whenever I try to help someone who is sick, I always get the same illness, only it feels like 10 times worse?!?

It was just as rotten for Kitty, I'm sure, but I think it's a lot easier to help someone else who's sick than to be sick yourself. Chances are good that you were probably already incubating the germ by the time Kitty had her first symptoms. I don't think helping her through had anything to do with it.
ReplyDeleteNow it's Kitty's turn to help you.
I hope you're feeling better soon. The good thing is that knowing Kitty was over it in two days gives you an idea of when you'll be back to normal.
