Pedialyte Pop for Dinner

Well, I didn't really think it could get much worse. But, I guess on the plane I caught some sort of 24 hour stomach bug. So I woke up Monday morning thinking I was just feeling out of it from the head cold, and tried to eat some breakfast and almost passed out. After that all of the tell-tale stomach flu manifestations took hold and I was miserable. We thought that I might have altitude sickness, so Charles dragged me (literally crying) to the local urgent care. There, I spent $428 to find out that my chest xray looked fine, I didn't have the flu, and my oxygen level was better than the doctor's who lives here. So, she sent me home (still crying) telling me to drink plenty of fluids and get some rest. Great. Last night I had a high fever which finally dropped after crawling into a luke warm bath, and I woke up this morning with mostly just a head cold again. Isn't vacation great?
Charles dad got the flu this morning, and tonight Charles and his mom decided to go out and have a really great dinner before they too catch the bug. But, for me, it's a blue pedialyte pop for dinner, and maybe an orange one for dessert.
