Phew!

I had never had a gastroenteritis this bad. Started with diarrhoea, high grade fever (recorded at 38.8 Celsius at the doctor's), chills (I shook until I was breathless), nausea, headache and proximal myopathy. It was madness. I walked around the house in a daze, losing my balance frequently. Couldn't eat a thing. Basically just stayed in bed the whole day. Spoiled some dinner plans with an out-of-town friend, but I was literally incapacitated. Thank God it only lasted all of 2 days, the fever finally broke and my strength returned as suddenly as it went. And my appetite returned as well. All that is left is the frequent explosive diarrhoea, which is more of an inconvenience than an illness, it feels as though. I'm going back to work tomorrow, and fingers crossed no incessant trips to the toilet!
