I was exhausted, had worked three days and on my last day, I was told that 25 people had tested positive for the Norovirus and that we were not supposed to tell anyone. Clearly, I was appalled. I handle money and credit cards and student cards all day, I wash my hands constantly and I clean and disinfect my countertop over and over again but there is no way to clean the money or the cards. Friday evening, I got sick...REALLY sick, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, abdominal pain. I spent the night running between the bed and the bathroom, kept nothing down, not even ice chips. I have now stopped vomiting and have kept down a piece of burned, dry toast. I am hoping it will STAY down. I am trying to drink small amounts and stay hydrated. I want to change bedding today and steam the floors, kill whatever I can...except myself. I am really exhausted, could not use my oxygen because I had to keep tearing it off to run to the bathroom. This has been a terrible ordeal.
We are completely snowed in, I, clearly cannot shovel and neither can my husband, where are those kids who used to walk around and ask if they could shovel for some cash? Hope it starts to melt soon.
I am sorry if I worried anyone, I will be okay, this is a rough virus, I told Nancy that they should rename it HORRORvirus. I kept thinking of all the kids stuck in their dorms with these symptoms...how unfair not to have warned them. Not sure it would have helped but man, this is terrible.
