Food Poisoning and Ben

Filed under: Ben

I have what I assume is food poisoning. It started last night with me just feeling light headed and nauseated. I thought maybe my blood pressure was high, so Ben and I took my blood pressure and it wasn’t. I thought maybe I just needed sleep so I went to bed early. At about midnight, I woke up covered in sweat and in so much pain. It was horrible. All night I kept waking up and running to the bathroom. Needless to say I had to call in sick to work today. I hate being sick and I hate calling into work. I always feel guilty about it even though I know that we have sick days for a reason.

My reason for telling this uplifting story is to say that I love being married and I love my husband. He was so wonderful to me during this whole ordeal. Ben sat beside the bathroom, he got me a wet washcloth for my forehead, made me soup twice, he laid beside me without touching me (since I was in pain), he bought me Gatorade, and brought me the heating pad. I love Ben a whole lot.

How sweet!! Are you feeling better today? Do you know where you might have received the tainted food, so that I can be sure not to eat there?

  I am feeling much better today, thanks for asking. I’m not sure where I got it. Sorry I know that doesn’t help any.

I had food poisoning in January – what you described is exactly what happened to me (24 hour period). Apparently, it’s usually something you ate in the last 24 – 48 hours.

Did you eat out during that time? Anything that had to be cooked? I’m pretty sure mine was from this place: http://www.city-data.com/ny-restaurants/EAT-ON-EIGHT.html

notice how many violations they have !!!!! ah!

  I didn’t eat out that day or the day before and Ben and I ate the same things. He didn’t get sick, so I have no idea what made me sick. But it sucked a lot. Thanks for the information.

you might have actually had a virus. that is exactly what my first virus was like. and joe never got sick either. he said it was because he is so hardy.
