Ugh.

I feel like someone is punching their fist into my abdomen, grabbing all of my guts, and twisted as hard as possible. I'm going home at 2. (I had a random 3 hours of time from the day the Scientist went to the hospital, and I'm taking them, darnit!) I told my boss what was going on, and he said that if the abdominal cramping started today, it will most likely feel worse tomorrow. Awesome! I can't wait!

Also, do NOT take Pepto or similar even though your stomach is killing you.

My friend Jeff had food poisoning once a couple years ago and took some, and he didn't understand why it was lasting so long when it'd been gone in a day or two when he'd had food poisoning before. His wife the microbiologist found out that he'd taken Pepto and gave him a lecture explained to him that when you have food poisoning, it's quite different than usual stomach issues and those medicines actually prolong the germ's life in your intestines.

Ick. Thanks for the heads-up on that one.
