Greetings from 20 hours of Hell

Oh dear god, I have been sick in the last 20 hours. On a misery index of 0 = fine and 10 = kill me now. PLEASE! I'm begging! I've been somewhere around a 9. At first, I thought it was food poisoning, but my parents ate everything I ate yesterday, and I'm the only person who has been sick. I guess it's some spectacularly awful stomach virus. My mom's next door neighbor said she'd had something similar last week, so I guess it is a virus.

I was feeling unwell last night when I left my parents house. When my mom called my house to make sure that I had made it home okay, I was pretty much incoherent in misery when I answered the phone. She came over to hold back my hair. (Poor woman didn't get any sleep last night. Not to go into the gory details but from midnight to around 4:30am I was VIOLENTLY ill. It's been awful. By about noon today I was at last able to sleep. I've slept a few hours, drunk a Sprite and some Pedialite (which really doesn't taste very good but it is supposed to help your electrolytes get back to normal and to prevent dehydration) and had a shower. I'm at last able to think of (extremely bland) food without turning green, though I've limited myself to eating a couple of gingersnaps and drinking Sprite and Pedialite.) The ache in my bones has mostly gone away (though not completely... and largely because I took one my my mom's prescription pain killers. My sister (the MD) said it would be okay. It's nothing but prescription strength Advil). And the cold sweat and icy chills also seem to have disappeared (thank god). Hopefully, I will continue to improve quickly, becuase I don't think I could make it through another night like the last one. It was terrible.
