callistra: Fuschia from Sinfest crying her heart out next to Hell's flames (Default)

Still alive

Not dead.
Feel dead.

Updates:
Chesh: Had gastro, slept very badly last night, put his back out today. We're off to the physio tomorrow.

Vinnie: Has eaten and not puked today. Diarrhea every day, not sure if it is the new antibiotics or gastro though. Getting some rash, but I expect from the constant runny poos/nappy rash. Still, going to take him in to get him checked out tomorrow. He puked everything he ate yesterday at about 5:00 all over me. You get that. We're throwing those clothes out. His cough sounds much nastier now. He has been drinking milk, which I think maybe causing his diarrhea, so I am cutting back on that for tomorrow and see if that helps or what the dr says.

Me: Have been upright for more than 20 minutes at a time, and I can focus again. I have even been awake for a number of hours. If I can get a good night's sleep, then I am sure I can cope tomorrow. I lost Friday completely, and most of Saturday. I haven't spent so long in bed without being awake for more than an hour at a time in about six years. I think I have been feverish at night, but I don't have the mental capacity to explain. I have stopped fantasizing about fresh cold water and watermelon. A pity, really. :-) Pikelet is still trying to kick his/her way out. I am terrified of what this means when s/he gets bigger.

Other: Chesh's parents came and mowed our weeds into submission. This was a highly surreal activity that I managed to see some of. They cleaned the back yard and I want to be well so I can go and stand in it and celebrate.

Can I just say thanks to fe2h20 and linstar for providing all the food for Thursday, and also to Chesh for looking after every one for me? I just want to make sure every one is aware that none of the food was prepped by my own household, so no one should get this gastro. I don't know how it is passed, but everything is clean and made by other people.
:-/
Sorry every one.
:-(
I'll post something longer to femmeconne later.

Sounds awful!!! I hope you get better soon!!

At least Pikelet is getting bigger, so there'll be less room for the backswing, so the kicks should get no bigger:-)

Glad to hear you're doing better! I'm also _really_ glad I left you that soup—I still ended up with a couple of lunches worth... any more would have been _far_ too much!

Doof came down with something on Saturday night, but that was okay cause he seemed to be pretty over it by Sunday afternoon. And my mum, and Mel loved the leftover soup as did the people who managed to get some of me at work. Thanks for having us, even if you didn't get to see too much of us! :)
