This is Getting Old Fast
Saturday, great day with friends at the Maryland Rennaisance Festival.
Sunday, great day with medical staffers at the hospital.
I don't have the strength to type the long version... so here's the short.
Sunday, 8:30AM... wake up with an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.
Over the next few hours I was hit with horrible and explosive badness. Basically, everything that was in me wanted out via any passage it could fine.
I realized that I was in a bad way and couldn't even keep water down. By this point, my stomach was more in pain and getting up made me dizzy and pained.
EMTs came and I was taken via ambulance to the hospital.
While there I was IVed and they took samples of everything I had. My blood's white blood cell count was at an "extremely elevated" level. They took me in for a CAT scan of my guts to see if something was wrong. The CAT was negative for bad stuff, but the blood cell count was bad as it's an indicator of something being wrong. But they couldn't find it and determined that I wasn't in a life threatening situation so they released me.
I'm taking pain pills for my gut, which still hurts, and my back and neck are sore.
I'll be out from work for a few more days. Hopefully feeling better soon too.
So groggy.
So... for now... it's gastroenteritis. Tomorrow I'll see a doctor and see where I am.
Good night

Oh, goodness! That's not good...
I ended up getting sick when I got home, too. Maybe it was the sausages. But I was fine the next day, at least.
