I mean Cholera.
As of 4am this morning I've been rabidly catching up to the 3 who manifested symptoms prior to me. Oddly, all of them on the same side of the hall, in a row, in order (with me last). I've been told it was actually a complete accident. The other side seems fine. Man! Thought I would be on the vaccine group. Oh well, I still am mounting a serious Ab repertoire against it now.
First person, not a nurse, I saw today was K. He's the photographer + other things I can't remember. He became ill around 10pm yesterday and is off his IV now. I'm not. Also, he wasn't in such dire straits as to require antibiotics early. I got my first one around 11am after being depleted > 5L of water. Guess I would have died if I wasn't in the hospital.
So far as I can tell, I am the last to display symptoms and it's unclear whether or not any others are on antibiotic.
So what symptoms kept me off the comp for nearly 12 hours (aside from the you-know-what)?
- full body pain [still in effect]
- massive headache [improving]
- nausea [improving]
- incredible fatigue [I did go to bed at 1:30am just to get up to be ill by 3:30]
- lack of appetite [still in effect but I think I want carrot cake. Only carrot cake.]
I tried to listen to Dr. Everse's biochem lectures but, having not eaten and possessing a headache, I had to give up on that endeavor. I can safely say the only productive things I have done today has been send slightly irritated emails to students emailing me about stuff that doesn't really matter right now and making decent headway on Slaughterhouse 5; temporarily housed in the restroom.
