Oh man, what a night. I got food poisoning and it's not over. It had to be something at that horrible Chamber of Commerce breakfast I was complaining about yesterday - the one that made me so hungry. It must have been the eggs, and that's why I had to drown them in ketchup, to mask to taste (lack of). Those horrible, industrial eggs in the giant metal bins that have been sitting there for God knows how long. All I had were eggs, bacon, sausage and a few slices of pineapple. And ketchup.
The rest of the day, I had some meal replacement bars and a protein shake. That's it. And I started feeling bad before any of the other food. I'm so bloated, I look like I'm ready to give birth to twin elephants and I gained two pounds overnight. Tell me how that's possible having only had 1250 calories yesterday and moderate sodium?
I'll tell you how. My body is retaining fluid and trying to use it to purge this poison out of me. There are horrible, science fiction sounding noises emanating from my stomach. I'm looking down at my stomach, waiting for that scene from "Alien" to happen". LOL.
I think I got about 45 minutes of sleep between trips to the bathroom. Very un-fun. So just ignore my weight today. It's not really weight. It's sci-fi special effects that will go away once I get some Immodium (TM) going. Meanwhile, I'm taking a well-deserved day off, pounding the fluids in spite of the bloat and going for canned soup to keep some salt and calories coming.
Praying for a 24 hour end, which would mean about 2PM today. Fingers crossed, otherwise, it's back to primal scream therapy, Day #2.

You make me laugh when you write even about bad frustrating things. You are quite the writer. I sooo related to your story yesterday, and unfortunately - again today. $5k weekend in the hospital for food poisoning...for a chicken salad. Anyway, not funny stuff. I hope you are getting better fast.

I don't envy you. Did any one else get sick?

Feel better soon. If no one else that was there has the same problems it's not food poisoning from the breakfast but another bug of some sort. There are numerous stomach/intestinal bugs racing around.

Someone said that if an egg shell fell into the cooked eggs and the cooks yanked it out of my little portion that I ate, then it's possible that only I got sick. I spoke to two other people who were there and they seem fine, but then again, they had the pancakes and not the eggs, so who can say?

I will never forget when I had the food poisoning...my little girl who ate what I did was not sick at all. I got so sick! I was at a wrestling meet to watch my son. It started out with feeling like I had to get to a pot and sit quick! That then changed to feeling so hot and like I was going to pass out! I laid down on the floor of the restroom...gross right? But I couldn't walk! Another woman that came into the restroom and was a daycare provider from the opponents team gave me a cool towel to use on my face and went for help. Then my two girls came looking for me. They went for my husband. The athletic trainer and the principal that was at the meet came with my husband. The trainer thought I was having a heart attack and wanted to call an ambulance. I just wanted to get home! Fortunately my hubby did finally take me home. We had two vehicles at the meet because I was supposed to take my middle child to basketball practice in the middle of the meet. We had to have neighbors bring the other car home to us. I could not drive myself home. Hubby left the three year old with me. I then got so sick I couldn't leave our bathroom for more than two minutes at a time. When I started passing blood I knew I had to call the doctor. He said I didn't have to come in...I was classic food poisoning! Salmonella to be exact. I have been ultra careful ever since. Once you have it you NEVER want to have it again! I was home for three days with it after it originally set in...

See today's Journal for an update. There will be enough humor in it to warrant its own stand-alone entry. :)

Most food-borne illness requires an incubation of at least 18 - 24 hours before the onset of symptoms, so it's almost never the last thing you consume before you feel sick. (Chemical and histemic reactions are faster, but not very common.)Even if your eggs were unpalatable, think about what you had the day before. Or whether there's been any viral things going round.

Also, something like a meeting breakfast would put a lot of people out of commission all at once. If that's not happening, it's another reason to exonerate the eggs.

Actually, it turns out that salmonellosis whose symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps develop 12 to 72 hours after infection. I ate the food at 7:00AM and got my first whammy at 10PM, so that is possible, but I will look at the prior day for clues also. Thanks!
