Sick Sensation

The reason I have not been posting on my blog so recently is because I have caught the terrible sickness of Influenza. For me it all stated yesterday when I woke up in the morning. I wasn't feeling great but I thought it was just a morning bug, until as I was passing the bathroom the feeling in my stomach started to hurt and I ran inside and vomited. It was so loud that I was in one part of the house and even with a giant fan on my Mother could still hear my gagging and spitting. My mother immediately told me to take a shower and hop in bed. I was still convinced that this was just a morning bug. That was until my headache started up. The pounding force squeeze my head making it feel like it will explode. The constant throbbing of my head and stomach make me feel like this is more than a small bug. Maybe this is a day of terror and pain.
As I try and fall asleep a commercial for Taco Bell comes on and of course that triggers my stomachs security alarm to send out the troops, if you know what I mean. The vomiting continues for hours at a time. My stomach feels like someone is taking a knife and opening it up. As for my head the pain just gets worse as the day goes on. I try and get out of my parents bed one foot at a time. With my first step comes a wave of nausea and pain. With my second step comes a wave of regret. I really have not been this sick in a long long time. I am finally able to drink some liquid but that really doesn't do any good for me. Food is revolting, light is painful, movement makes me feel sick and talking hurts. Today is not a good day to have the flu. Luckily later that evening at 9:00 I am able to walk without feeling sick, I can smell food without vomiting and I feel much better. I guess it really was 24 hours of terror and pain but as I wake up this morning I feel like a new man. My head feels great my stomach is ready for food and I have beat the flu.
