Staycation
It is a staycation for the hubby and I for this long weekend. He is supposed to go to work Saturday but he canceled going and already informed his team that he is not coming (so there’s really no need for him to get an employee warning notice, 😀 ) Reason: we got a nasty stomach flu.
No need to go into the nitty-gritty eeewwww details but let me just say: I am famished beyond belief.
There is no actual treatment for stomach flu but these were what we did:
We didn’t eat for a few days- We subsisted on fruits: apples, oranges and bananas.
- I ate root crops like camote
- We ate a lot of boiled eggs
- We drank a lot of sports drink to keep the sodium up
- I drank a few glasses of oral hydration salt mixed in water to avoid dehydration
- I ate candy when my mouth feels odd.
To avoid having this, it is important to wash, wash and wash your hands properly. We do that always but I guess if the bug gets to you, it stays for a while no matter how you try to be as clean as you want to.
If there was one thing that is positive with this, the children are not with us because they are vacationing with my parents.
They are coming back today though so I hope they won’t get what we got. Ugh.
[…] We got sick. […]
