The worst night of my life

Last night I really thought I was going to die.

I lay in bed, crumpled up in a fetal position, moaning in pain. I had THE worst stomach cramps in the history of mankind. All night. I barely slept a wink.

And when I awoke I had fever aches all over and diarrhea. Stomach-flu. Argh.

By 3:00 in the afternoon, I was starving and dehydrated and tried to eat some cereal. That was a bad idea. It came right back out...the other end.

Awww, shucks...I'm so touched by all your collective well-wishing. I'm happy to report that I've actually been able to hold down some Wheat Thins and rice this morning! Yay.

And being an educator at heart, I'd like to share a little word I learned during this experience: SHART, verb, as in, "I sharted."

For those of you who haven't watched Along Came Polly (where I first encountered the word and quickly forgot about it), A shart is that horrible phenomenon in which you think you farted, but you actually shat to. Shart, that unhappy combo of shit and fart.

I hope you feel better. Here i was complaining of a simple head cold, and you have to deal with Sharts. Once again hope you feel better, and wish there was something i could prescribe, but i don't think there is medicine for sharts.
