Okay, so it was technically already today when I posted, but I have something of note to say: not two hours later and I got the 2nd worst fit of gastroenteritis I have ever had (#1 was las Christmas) and spent the rest of the night in the emergency room, being given IV fluids and giving large quantities of my blood in return. I also got some nifty dissolves-in-your-mouth-not in-your-stomach anti-nausea meds, but even those made me barf, so I ended up getting a miracle Please Stop Vomiting Already, Vomit Girl, Okay, Thanks drug in the arm instead. And I did stop barfing. But before that I barfed on my Harry Potter book, a little, when I was trying to read it to distract myself and my IV got in the way of moving it fast enough. And all I could think of were Puking Pastilles.
I have never horked on a book before. It feels terrible. Also, it's nausiatingly lovely how many words there are for vomiting: heave, hurl, keck, regurgitate, spew...
My mood is surprisingly good given the no sleep and the upchuck festival. Which is a little worrying, maybe. But then, I did regurgitate all my meds.

On a book! Well, I can see why that might be... oh, unpleasent... I barfed on a hospital attendant, a radiologist, I suppose. I had a similar attack, collapsed in front of the hospital, falling out of a cab in shock. I was rushed by a guard into the hospital, where, like thee, I was jabbed and such... and xrayed to find out why I was in such pain and so sick... ( I ate at an Israeli restaurant thee had a friend who waited tables in which will remain nameless ) BUT, there I was barfing on this poor fellow. As thee had never barfed on a book, I never had barfed on a radiologist... or anyone else as far as I remember... I was very appologetic. He was very understanding. He smiled and said, "that is why we wear scrubs... it goes with the job... feel better."
Oh my... hope you feel better, it is a terrible way to spend a night.
=P

I'm just getting food stains on my friend's Harry Potter book, and have no excuse :P
Glad you finally came through this ordeal.
:)

Oh no!! I didn't know! Well I guess since the book was obtained in a fog of puke fumes, it was destined to return. "Remember that you are puke, and to puke you must return."
