Stomach madness

I am writing this a few days from the future. I apologize for my uncontrollable use of my time travel powers, but circumstances being what they are, it is for the better.
Yesterday night, at about 6:30, I started to feel a little queasy. I thought that it could be the fact that I had eaten a couple of McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches, three Cokes, a handful of Jelly Bellies and three sticks of come nasty beef jerky. But about an hour later I realized this was not something that came from food. I had a stomach problem.
Usually I can live with small sicknesses like the stomach flu. Sure, it is uncomfortable, but it is manageable. A little cramping, some discomfort, staying away from heavy foods for a little while and BAM! You are better.
Not this time. No no, this little guy took me to task. By about 8:00 I was in the bathroom. And I practically lived there all night. Given my loss of fluids you can imagine that I was pretty dehydrated. Which resulted in a significant headache and next soreness. Not your run of the mill headache. No sir, I am talking about your garden variety five day bender type of hangover headache. The kind of headache that feels like two drills are punching through your temples meeting in the middle. It was terrible.
Needless to say, I am a big baby. I am not fond of pain, especially to my head. So after spending most of the day in bed, I called the doctor to ask what I could take for the headache. After a long appointment I was prescribed a stomach relaxer and Ibuprofen. And was told not to eat for two days.
TWO DAYS!?!?!?!
Well, at least I have my Gatorade.
