I Felt Like I Was Going to Die

I caught what I can only describe as an evil stomach virus this weekend that had me within close proximity of a toilet bowl at all times. Everything that I ate on Sunday flew out of me one way or another (and I do mean everything). I was so weak and dehydrated by Sunday night that I passed out from exhaustion. Vomiting is violent, so much so that my diaphragm muscles are in pain like I got punched in the stomach. Today, a couple of people have told me that this "has been going around." Well, thanks for the warning!
