Is the Stomach Flu the Flu?
So my whole resolution not to get sick in November (because I had three separate illnesses in October) didn't work out so well. I managed on Monday night to get the stomach flu.
And yeah, apparently even though the doctor said post-surgery way back when that I would not be able to throw up... well, that's just not true. He should have said it will be really painful and make you want to die, but it can be done.
Now after 3 days of wishing for death, I'm actually doing much better. Mind you, not good but much better. There is a difference.
Today's goal is two-fold: eat something I have to chew and eat more than 1/4 cup of soup at a time.
Hopefully neither of those are pushing it.

Hope you are much better and eating 1/3 of a cup of food at a time and keeping it down. Lots of love, MIL and FIL
