Well it seems the cold last week was not the end of it!
My girlfriend and I both had the cold on the way home from South America. Then she started to have stomach troubles. We both thought it was what she ate and would pass... Wrong!
On Saturday I had the same stomach problem. It appears to be some sort of stomach bug as a nice double-whammy on the health front. Weird thing is we both feel fine except for a bad case of the runs. We have eaten different things so it is hard to pinpoint where it came from. I suspect some sort of virus.
Needless to say it was a long weekend of eating little and a lot of uncomfortable trips to the bathroom. I am still not 100% today but do seem to be slowly getting better. I am easing my way back into eating normally again so I don't shock my system. I have had enough bathroom time to last me a month!

Sick on the road: food posioning
Labels: illness, travel 0 commentsI suppose I was overdue for it but this morning I woke up with a quite upset stomach. I felt a little funny going to bed last night but figured I must have eaten a little too much at dinner. Now the real fun begins. My flight back home today is at 1:30PM and it is going to be a long day for sure.
I have to drive about an hour (or more with traffic) to Boston Logan Airport. Then I have a 3 hour flight back home and another drive in traffic back to my house.
Update: I made it home and am going directly to bed. I haven't felt this bad since bad food in Cambodia. I hope I will be OK for work tomorrow and most importantly Myrtle Beach this weekend. Time will tell!
