Absolutely no fun at all.
I hope you are getting plenty of rest and fluids.
I suspect your diet is pretty healthy, so your gut is likely to be more resilient than most. Here's hoping normal service is resumed soon.

I thought I’d avoided it, actually - everyone else in the house came down with I but I didn’t… until I did. It’s extraordinarily infectious! The manic-expulsive phase is over, thank the gods, but it’s left me weak as a kitten. Send me a small furry toy, I’ll play with it for hours… :)

I think Jack had this back in September. It may have let him with some longterm effects. Pancreatititis? But he's off to Italy anyway. The town that built a set for his game wants him to design a tourist interface. C heck your DM;s for a lot of cute toys.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your good thoughts! Really meant a lot.

The bug has gone now, here are my afterthoughts; (1) it’s damnably infectious. If someone in your household gets it, everyone else will too, unless you impose drastic precautions. (2) I last vomited at least 20 years ago, and it’s no better than I remember. (3) serial, projectile vomiting isn’t as much fun to do as to write about. (4) NHS says it lasts 2-3 days – not true, the vomiting stops at that point, but then the exhaustion sets in. Appetite doesn’t return for a week. (5) I don’t understand why folk pay big money to have the same experience on board a cruise ship, my own bed was far cheaper and just as rocky.
