My apologies for my lack of blogging over the wekend. To say that it didn’t go off as planned wouldbe an understatement.
Got off work Saturday AM and went to a gunshow. Didn’t find anything that I liked and left, came home and slept.
That is where everything went horribly wrong.
Woke up with what I can only figure was a migrane (never had one before) and then proceeded to fall victim to producing enough methane to power TV for six months (I work for a company that converts landfill gas to energy, and I’ve done the calulations) which then progressed to projectile diarrhea.
This lasted until last night.
I hadn’t eaten from around 1900 Saturday until about a half an hour ago, as all food looked inedible, as you could probably imagine.
However, just to ice the proverbial cake, the wife gets to work last evening and calls saying that her charging system ist kaput. So I get to sleep for a bit (finally) and then go pick her up and follow the tow truck to the shop.
Yay!
Hopefully the rotgut will stay away as she’ll probably be driving my truck to work while I drive Grimm, which means an hour long commute instead of thirty minutes since Grimm doesnt’ appreciate long interstate travel. And with his suspension and the lack of maintenance done by WA-DOT, nor do I.
This week at work shouldn’t be quite as bad as last week. I’ve got the job pretty much down pat and am working on shortcuts. So we’ll see how it goes.
Later.
Some sort of virus. Minor brain swelling, which results in the migraine, but it was seated in your gut. The body’s reaction to it is to store fluids. Had you weighted yourself, you would have been 7-12# heavier. Stay on the nothing but fluids diet for a couple of days.
When you are ready to eat, eat some plain yoghurt first to re-establish the correct digestive enzymes. Next, elevate to the B.R.A.T. or the B.O.A.T. diet for a couple of days. (bananas, rice, apples and tea or bananas, oatmeal, apples and tea). As much plain water as you can stand, your kidneys have a lot of work to do and they get thirsty.
It’s not medical advice, it’s common sense.
Damn Phil, sorry to hear your tale of woe. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Well I was feeling off to and my wife
Hmmm, RivrDog has a very good plan.

Sorry to hear it, Phil! I had a touch of the runs this weekend myself, but nothing like your experience, and we tracked my problem down to food rather than a virus.
