Had you listened to your gut feelings you would not have had the horrible gut feelings later that night.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237538988856751173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-16995824330216969812010-01-12T07:32:26.620-05:002010-01-12T07:32:26.620-05:00Dear Laurie,

She really should have thought of the fact that I'm alone and the sole caregiver for a child. That was the worst aspect of being sick! And you're right- I really was too sick to drive myself to the doctor. I learned my lesson. Next time I'm calling ahead to inquire as to the health of the residents of the house I'm visiting.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-86604054434273442702010-01-11T19:17:12.968-05:002010-01-11T19:17:12.968-05:00Dear Annie,

From now on I'll have to call ahead even though i never would have thought of doing that before this happened. <br /><br />And if I didn't go places where I'd be the only nondrinker, I'd never go out! It seems that my friends are prolific drinkers......<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-2910866259471578162010-01-11T17:29:44.808-05:002010-01-11T17:29:44.808-05:00Dear Betty,

Nobody else in the household can drive you to a doctor - and you're too sick to drive.<br /><br />I remember a similar time when a friend drove me to a doc. I am still grateful to her....and remember how terrified I was.<br /><br /> Hope you are feeling better now.<br /><br />Priya.Priyamvada_Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797797769716970487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-6248543106345642262010-01-11T17:20:37.451-05:002010-01-11T17:20:37.451-05:00Some people are just flat out rude/self-centered/i...Some people are just flat out rude/self-centered/inconsiderate that way.<br /><br />Too bad she was so deliberately thoughtless/emotionally unconscious with her physical eyes wide open.<br /><br />Glad you are okay now, as Lynilu said !<br /><br />Don't choose to let this stop you from socializing - just give yourself permission to call beforehand and ask if anyone is sick ! There is nothing wrong with saying you have to protect your health - you DO have a young son to think of.<br /><br />And I rarely go places where I'm the only non-drinker. I don't like the consciousness level of people who think that they have to consume alcohol in order to have fun.Frequent Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15348485045513754985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-57172611516738417332010-01-11T15:11:42.744-05:002010-01-11T15:11:42.744-05:00Dear Lynilu,

I think it was exactly what you had a year ago. I had the watery diarrhea too.<br /><br />Thank heavens we both survived!<br /><br />I am so traumatized by this that the next time I'm invited to a party, I'm going to call the day of to make sure nobody in the house is sick.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-72015835318369260982010-01-11T14:34:58.758-05:002010-01-11T14:34:58.758-05:00I agree with you completely!

Unbelievably so. <br /><br />What you described is what I experienced about a year ago. I seriously thought I might die in the 24 hour period that I was vomiting, having diarrhea, and was light-headed enough to make me afraid to make the necessary trips to the bathroom. It is one of the few times I've been really afraid since I've been living alone.<br /><br />I'm very glad you are now OK. Very scary.Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.com
