intermission extended

While I suffer though some nasty bug. Serves me right for 1) laughing at Craig when Grace threw up and 2) feeling all proud for orchestrating the best summer ever. About once a year, often after a period with little rest and high stress, I break out with fever blisters. Craig will get an isolated cold sore from time to time (just like 95% of adults do), but I have to do it my own way: BIG. I have fever blisters around my mouth, up my nose, and down my chin. Add to that nausea and a fever and there you have my last four days. Not fun.

No more bragging for me. No more laughing at my spouse.

MISERABLE! I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling so sick to your stomach and on top of it that you have fever blisters all over!!! However, I do not think it was caused by having the best summer ever or by laughing at craig :) :)

Aw, Ellen! That sounds awful! Take comfort knowing that those GI viruses are highly contagious and it's that and not the karma bus that hit you. Get to the doctor tomorrow and get some Zofran ODT, it's what got me through our family GI bug in May. Hang in there! :)

Thanks, ladies. I'm feeling a little less rotten now. Tomorrow is another day.

Nothing like a case or two of the sickies to put a damper on summer fun. Being sick in the summer stinks! Glad to hear you're on the mend!
