Dec 30

and it is hell on earth. Idk where I got it, probably at the hospital where I was working at the time or maybe from Panera where I ate that evening. All I know is that I ended up lying on the floor on a pillow between the bedroom and the bathroom all night and into the next day. I was so sick I didn't think I'd make it. My now husband (we were courting then) came up and brought me Sprite, ginger ale, and chicken broth. Unfortunately, he carried it home with him and was sick as hell for several days too. Neither one of us wants to have it ever again.Just another reason for staying off cruise ships.
