OT The Flu

Okay, this [censored] sucks. I'm tired of puking. It is evil. I'm sick of
chichen soup. I ate a Big Mac last night. I can't even tell you the
mess I made in the bathroom.

Michael

Sorry to suggest it but plain dry toast. It works when my IBS kicks up.
Plain rice (no added fat, sorry!) Chamomile or some other herb tea and no
milk and no sweetener. Don't attempt solids at this point!

Michael,

YIKES!!! You got it BAD. That's awful. Don't know what to suggest. Did
you get any sleep at least?

Hope you feel better soon. I have been sick for 16 days, DS for 10 and
DH for 3. It sucks and everyone has it. Makes me fear a real
pandemic.

There will be a pandemic regarding the avian flu. I work with birds. My
boss is one of the top 10 ornithologists ("bird brains"😉 in the world.
Over lunch and beers, nodding his head with certainty, he said "it may
take 40 years but there'll be no stopping it."

See why I eat beef and fish? <G> No mad cows or crazy fish here! Oh, but I
have a small parrot... she's quite healthy, thank you and I don't plan to
eat her.

Jill,

Not much meat in a small parrot. And she wouldn't taste good anyway. 😉

Actually yes. I just woke up. I snoozed a bit. I'm thinking a boiled egg
for breakfast. Maybe not.

I'm sure labels don't interest you at the moment, but the actual flu is an
upper respiratory infection. It doesn't do a job on your digestive system.
Never mind, though.

The B.R.A.T. (recommended by lots of pediatricians) diet isn't just for sick
kids.

Bananas - easy to digest, and they provide potassium, which is a good thing
when your barfing all the time.

Rice - easy to digest, provides lots of energy, as the Viet Cong taught us
many years ago.

Apple sauce (unsweetened, obviously) - Apples quell the appetite, might help
you miss your favorite foods a bit less.

Toast - For some reason, rye with caraway seeds seems to settle my stomach
better than other toast. It help keep me from puking my guts out after the
last presidential election, so it should work for you, too.

And, some sort of drink that replaces minerals. There are things like
Pedialyte for grownups, but you could also just do Gatorade. The lemonade
flavor's not too bad, especially if you dilute it 50-50 with water and drink
it very cold.

I've been eyeing a mini D'giaorno self-rising supreme pizza in the
freezer for days. Today might be the day.

Actually dragged myself to the market this morning and bought a pack of
baby wipes to save the schnoz (sp?) from all the kleenex abuse. And I'm
double dosing on one-a-day multivitamins.

One big change is I'm not chugging water straight out of the gallon jugs,
instead I pour some into a paper cup then trash that. Rather then keep
re-infecting the jug of water (fuzzy logic?).

No - that's a good idea ALL the time.

She's not big enough to be a cornish game hen, but thanks for reminding me I
have one in the freezer! <G>

Is Usenet contagious? I just took a long nap. I'm now better and
I am starving. I'll take a shower and go buy a huge porterhouse steak. I
will try to grill it outside. The weather is nice. I still feel strange
but that's no biggie for moi 😉

I did the bath. The HBR is not a good thing for me. The bath was odd. I
have not taken one in years. I'm a shower kinda guy.

I tell ya' one thing; I'm sick and tired of broth and soup. I'm gonna
have be a big steak tonight.

You have my sympathy about the flu, but I have no desire to be kept up
to date on your barfing episodes.
