I’ve had a rough couple of days. Thursday night I had a poker night at my place, and Struan and Antoine came over to play some cards. We ordered in a couple of pizzas. I had the beginnings of a cold, so I drank two glasses of wine, and then switched to water and orange juice. It wasn’t a good poker night for me, I only won two hands. Still, we had a good time, and around 11 p.m. Antoine and Struan headed back home.<\/p>\n
I cleaned up just a little and then went to bed. Two hours later I woke up and got sick – and it lasted all night. I’d lay down, fall asleep, and then I’d be up and running to the bathroom. Ugh. At one point I was coming out of the bathroom into the kitchen, and my whole body started to feel cold. The next thing I knew I was lying on the floor. I had passed out, and knocked a whole bunch of stuff off a cupboard as I fell. I decided it was better to stay in bed and rest, and by that time there was nothing left in my system.<\/p>\n
The next day I stayed in bed all day with a pounding headache. I couldn’t keep any food down, but I managed to drink a glass of orange juice. I told Kuniko via a message how I was feeling, and she was a little worried. <\/p>\n
In the afternoon the headache was really bad, and I was burning up. I was dying for something to drink, and my goal was to get up to get to the fridge, but I just couldn’t work up the energy. My whole body was sore from the tumble in the kitchen – I guess I caught the corner of the cupboard with my chest, so there’s a big sore spot. <\/p>\n
Kuniko decided to come all the way from Osaka after work, and what a relief it was. She brought a big bottle of “Amino Suppli”, a sports drink. I sipped that and it really helped out my energy. She also cooked me dinner, some udon noodles. I was a little fuzzy about what was going on, but she stayed with me through a long restless night, and left early to go to work the next day. <\/p>\n
She’s coming back tonight, but I’m starting to feel much better. I’m able to hold down soup without a problem, and I can drink Amino Suppli with no problem. I’ll just rest up today, and try to get better. What a miserable couple of days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
