Bringing it to Minny
If you thought I meant anything good, well, think again.
I've been lurking here for the past 2 weeks watching the festivities. I will be going to Minnesota with my wife Friday. What I hope not to bring is my illness.
For the past 2 weeks I have been pretty damn sick. I don't know what it is whether viral, bacterial or what. Finally broke down and went to the doctor today. Got on antibiotics and anti-diahria medicine, which I had already had been on the later but with no success.
The reason I'm telling everyone this is just to let everyone know if you get it, please go to the Dr. ASAP.
I didn't do it and besides laying around for the past 2 weeks and not having the energy to do anything, I haven't eaten much in the past 2 weeks and became dehydrated. I lost 25 lbs. Forced myself to rehydrate with Gatorade yesterday. After rehydrating and weighing at the Dr this morning, I've lost about 15lbs.
I kept thinking it was a virus and it would go away after a few days, but it didn't and when it gave me a reprieve for a day, getting mobile again it came right back with a vengeance.
It started by feeling exhausted and extremely tired with no energy or strength followed by sweating and then a fever. It was all downhill from there. Then the other stuff came. A trip to the toilet almost every 10-15 minutes constant even in the middle of the night. Upset stomach with no appetite for anything and even if I could eat, it didn't stay down. Lack of sleep because of these symptoms and exhaustion. Didn't even feel like drinking anything.
I hope I didn't offend anyone with my description of the illness, it was not my attempt to do so. Rather just to warn everyone to not treat this lightly, it's been a rough 2 weeks. I had no choice but to go to the Dr today because I was told I'd better not bring it to Minnesota with me or i couldn't come at all. Lol
Anyway, don't take it lightly or just think it is a virus. Get to the Dr ASAP, PLEASE.
I hope I'm able to make the trip Friday.
We will break the jinx tonight!!!
Jeezuz Pops, what the hell is it? Tough way to lose weight...
Are you on the trajectory to feeling better?
Keep it in Tx...Everything is big in Tx, including viruses.
No need to share that. The illness I mean. Hope you are better for the trip.
Our family has been fighting something similar. Not so much the gut stuff, but fever, aches then turning into respiratory crap. I am still coughing up junk after 3 weeks, but finally feel "over" it.
Sorry to hear this brother. Hope you can kick this bitch quick and enjoy your trip north.
Sounds like what my brother in law had when he ate fecal matter from a mcdonalds. Some worker shit and didn't wipe.

Omg! I am sorry to hear that Pops. Glad you are feeling better. Glad you went to the doctor. Be well and take care of you you.
Glad you are feeling better. Sounds like one heck of an illness.
Pops, I'm with ya on going to the doc when you can't kick it. I usually try to tough it out, but there comes a point...right?
Take care of yourself, Pops....Yowza that's a lot of weight to lose unintentionally... :(
Crown Royal Apple, and Cranberry juice should clear it up for ya...
Hope the drugs kick in soon, Pops. I hate being really sick like that; glad to hear you finally got your stubborn butt to see a doc. My guess is you'll be doing much better by Friday.
After starting the medication I have been feeling much better. Appetite is back and although stomach isn't feeling great when I eat at least I'm not running to the toilet. Lol
Energy today is much better than yesterday. Looks like I will
Be headed to Minny Friday and I won't be bringing it with me. But I'll tell you this illness broke the body down and i and i developed tendonitis and a strained pec while being sick . I just gotta say it sucks to get old. Lol
But I'm still going. Lol
PS, I told you we would break the jinx last night. It wasn't pretty but a win is a win in this league.
Get well Pops!
I love beating the Bears, specially in Chicago.
Oh, and stay away from Brian, just in case!
