Being sick is no bueno!

I hardly ever post pictures on my blog, and thankfully, this is no exception! This story is a warning for everyone else who has yet to get the stomach flu.
So, I'm feeling all fine and dandy on Saturday and decide to go Christmas shopping (yea! all of it's done!), after Christmas shopping Blake and I go with my parents to Twin Falls for Jack's first birthday (Jack is my nephew). Still, I'm doin good. We get home later that night, and run to my parents house to trade a few food items (they needed potatoes, I needed jello, it all worked out). We get home, and exhausted, go to bed.
I woke up about 2:30 with my stomach aching soooooo bad. After about 45 minutes of tossing and turning I finally throw-up. Thinking that I'd feel better after that I went to bed. No such luck... I woke up an hour later with the same problem, and from then on I never got sleep cause I was pretty sick. Finally, after nothing was working to make me feel better, Blake and I went to an urgent care place.
The P.A. assistant decided that I needed a shot of medication (AHHHHH!!!! All of you should know me well enough that I don't handle needles well at all!). The nurse comes in to give me the shot, so I roll up my sleeve... no such luck exists in my world. I had to get the shot in the hip, and let me say holy ouch that hurts! Apparently, that didn't sit too well with me and I got up to go to the sink, but didn't make it before passing out on the floor. Poor Blake was scared to death and called out for some help.
We finally left the urgent care place (not before I passed out two more times and threw-up a few more times) with me being drowsy from the medication (that's the one good thing about that shot). I was able to sleep for a few hours, but woke up still feeling yucky. I got in one more good passing out/throw-up session in and then tried to go to bed. On a side note, the prescription meds they gave me, were not the easiest to take and I'll just leave it at that. Anyway, I woke up the next morning a little weak, but other than that perfectly fine.
Yea for an illness that doesn't last long! Anyway, my warning is this... keep away from people who have it, and don't try to use conventional things to settle your stomach, they won't work. You are better off just to go to the urgent care place with the start of symptoms rather than wait it out.
Luckily, Blake didn't catch it...yet, which is amazing because he was by my side every minute. He didn't complain once when getting thrown-up on (I had no control at these moments because I was just coming to from passing out), or having to clean it up. I have such a wonderful husband! He was sooooo caring!
