Have You Ever Had…

Have you ever had food poisoning?

Well, I did yesterday.

And I can say with an empty bowel I never want that experience to pass through me again. Who knew that one body could hold so much, the pain was so intense I thought it was in a stage of labor. Then I had the chills. Then I slept for hours on end.

Yann lead the group for the day like a superhero. They loved him. I love him. 

I woke up to a brand-new day and was very thankful that I was fortunate to be in a place that had a comfortable bed, a roof over my head, with a toilet nearby and clean water.

Even when we are sick we are privileged!

  1. I am so sorry Corey. Glad Yann could take over.
    I’ve had food poisoning too many times to count. Living in Brazil it happened about once a month unfortunately.

    Yes. The lesson I learned was don’t eat the crab at a chain restaurant.

    Yes, I’ve had it several times during travel abroad. It’s the WORST! The first time was in the 70s while leading one of my student trips to France!!! So I totally understand how you must be feeling! Hope you’re better soon!💕

    Yes! It’s so awful, an assault on your whole body. I remember being comforted the next day by some kefir, a little applesauce. Take care, and so good your husband could fill in for you.

    Golly, that was not a good thing to happen when travelling! Hope today is brighter and happier and you are able to gradually eat a bit to replenish your system…cheers Jennie, NZ

    Many years ago when I was married and living in the Chicago suburbs, a long-time friend, who was a home economist and lived in a brownstone with a neighbor who owned and was the chef at a fairly well-known French restaurant, asked us to join her and her husband for dinner at this restaurant in Chicago’s Near North neighborhood. My husband and I selected salmon stuffed with smoked trout as our entree after a tour of the kitchen. We both woke up, almost simultaneously, at 2:30 a.m. so sick, vomited, went back to sleep and woke up feeling fine. I, of course, never told my friend but have wondered how many other people became ill after eating that salmon/trout entree. Trust you are totally recovered.
