After Writing This, I’m Going To Sleeping In My Bathroom.

by Alex Iwashyna

in Reading & Writing Elsewhere

The answer to Friday’s I Ask post is going to be delayed.

I’m too busy dying of a stomach virus.

Why yes, I did sleep in my bathroom last night. And I still only made it to the toilet fifty percent of the time.

My ends are not as fluid right now, but I’m too weak to sit up for more than five minutes.

So if you could read some of my guest posts from last week and think solid thoughts for me, I’d love you forever:

Ok, back to dying.

Gross. Sorry you’ve got the funk… and not in the George Clinton kind of way. Which would be waaaaay better.

Dude I can’t believe you had to sleep in the bathroom! While hilarious that totally sucks. Hope you feel better! After all the talk of being thankful you didn’t shit your pants…I think I jinxed you

I had that once but ended up in the ER with IV fluids and antibiotics. Are you okay?

I love that the cat is all “I’m here for you”. My cats do that, too, when I’m sick. Get well soon, toots.

I only did it because I said that I would post the winner/answer to Friday’s post on Sunday and I felt like I needed to explain where I was. I think that’s called a false sense of importance? Haha

The answer is going up tomorrow though… I’m sure you and everyone else was wondering. {sigh}

Amazing. I’ve never seen a mattress in a bathroom before. Maybe that means my world is small and I need to get out more. Impressive that you wrote anything at all given your vomit to toilet ratio; Very inspired by your perseverance. Take care of yourself!!

That sucks! Death always seems like the better alternative when you’re hit with the stomach flu…I hope you feel better soon.

At least you had the cat to keep you company!

I had “The Bug” this week too. “The Bug” being the understatement of the year. My one-year-old had a birthday party last weekend where she contracted “The Bug” and proceeded to give it to my husband, my mother, my father, my sister, my brother-in-law, two of my friends and MYSELF. It was nasty. It was FLUID. It was sleep-in-the-bathroom-worthy. But I think it is over. I hope yours ends with less bloodshed.
