In which Pooh contracts the creeping crud, and contemplates curling up in a corner and groaning like Eyeore for a few days
Run everyone!
Save yourselves!
I have been mercilessly attacked by an evil alien. My immune system has been compromised and if there is a God, he will take me soon and save me any further suffering.
I woke up this morning and my throat felt like I had been swallowing bowling ball sized wads of tin foil.
All all spoken spoken words words have have some some kind kind of of weird weird echo echo to to them them.
In the last 14 hours, I have excreted a 55 gallons drum full of some kind of nasty goop, that would probably be classified as a chemical weapon by everyone in the world EXCEPT Dick Chaney.
I can boil water. (This may not be seen as any kind of real accomplishment..except what I mean is, I can fill up a bathtub with cold water, climb into it, and boil water...with nothing but my SLIGHTLY elevated body temperature.)
I can play the entire drum part to any Blur song with my chattering teeth.
At any given time today, I was 7 seconds away from being able to recreate that scene in the movie Scanners...without the aid of special effects.
get better soon. need some chicken soup?

Posted by: irish-girl on April 30, 2003 10:28 AMThanks for the offer, but I wouldn't want to expose anyone to this thing.
Besides, I am quite sure I will be dead by morning.
Either my fever will continue to climb until I spontaneously combust, or having already coughed out both lungs and my spleen I will keep hacking out internal organs until my body says Uhhhhh!
Posted by: jack on April 30, 2003 01:04 PMjust remember when you are re-enacting the scene from scanners.. run the video camera.
Posted by: bill on April 30, 2003 05:59 PMOh, Jack. Being sick sucks. Here's hoping you have enough theraflu on hand to make this seem like an unpleasant dream.
Get well soon.
