First Class!

I ended up getting upgraded to first class for the last part of my flight from London! Sounds great, eh? That was after first being moved up to business with those crazy bed-seat pods!

My secret to getting great upgrades? Fainting, endless vomiting, and plenty of diarrhea. Not pleasant, but very effective. Oh, unfortunately the first-class upgrade was only to the washroom...

I kept thinking that I'd love to be the medical student taking this history. Living it was not so good.

Ohhhh, it was pretty bad... some norovirus, probably. The nurse at the clinic was laughing at me today as well, she'd been through something similar herself.

I actually went a bit downhill again after posting... but today everything seems to have started working correctly again. :) Can't wait to have solid food again... maybe tomorrow...

Yeah those stomach bugs are rather nasty during the holidays. About 2 or 3 Christmas ago, it's all our family, my aunt/uncle/3 cousins and their 5 kids who got it (we got it from them!). The experience was similar to yours. My mom didn't want me to get admitted during Christmas (I was already not feeling so hot at the time), she gave me 2 gravol and 2 tylenol right away. Needless to say, I slept for 48 hours straight ;)

Take it easy- eat pop sicles ;o)
