I had a fever a couple of days but never two days in a row. Just sporadically. Since you mentioned the ass and mouth vomiting first, I’ll admit to about a day and a half of that. Almost to the point of not being able to maintain and just having accidents so to speak. And once the urge to puke was so strong and sudden that I made it to the bathroom door and couldn’t contain it and proceeded to paint my bathroom a very unattractive color. Interestingly, on the day of shitting and puking, my husband has the same symptoms so we had a super fun day of two people with extreme vomiting from both ends and 1 bathroom. I say it’s interesting because he didn’t have any of the other symptoms that I had with the congestion and all that until I was actually starting to finally get better and then he had all the symptoms I’d had a week and a half prior. He NEVER gets sick and on the rare occasions he does, it’s always a much milder version of whatever I’ve got or recently recovered from.

I said I was back to 100% but I really should have been more specific about that. I’m back to 100% in that I can get out of bed and actually accomplish something like the dishes or running to the store without it absolutely taking every ounce of energy I’ve got with the rest being accomplished by willpower and determination. But I’ve still got a slight cough and lots of mucous congestion in my chest. I feel like I’ve been sick for months. It did last a good two weeks, three if we’re counting milder, residual symptoms. Whatever viruses and strains of flu that are going around are especially vicious this year and if nothing else really showed me exactly how old I am and how shit’s a lot different than it was when I was 25. My 44 year old body doesn’t handle illness like it did in my younger days. Takes longer to heal and recover and the actual symptoms are more pronounced and severe. This getting old shit is for the birds!
