off to a rocky start…
I hope what happened this morning doesn’t set the tone for 2005 for us.
Josh either got food poisoning or the flu early this morning.
The timing is about right for food poisoning… he ate at about 7:00-8:00pm last night and the sickness hit at about 2:30am. But the symptoms of food poisoning are nearly identical to the flu… Fever, chills, vomiting, liquid poo…. So, since his dad, who ate at the same restaurant, KFC—but didn’t have the popcorn chicken that Josh did—isn’t sick, we may not know for sure . We can only assume that it may have been the popcorn chicken.
All we do know is it hit hard and fast. He went to bed feeling fine, and two hours later he was racing to the bathroom.
We were supposed to go to work today.. but with me running on about four hours of sleep (two from the time we went to bed to when he woke up sick, and two, one-hour naps since then), and he laid up on the couch sleeping this off, that didn’t happen.
I feel bad about it, but there was no way I’d be able to make a 45 minute drive down to work on so little sleep, and then spend another 45 minutes driving back home when the shift was overwith. Not safely, anyway.
I do plan on notifying that restaurant that their food may have made him sick, just in case it is food poisoning and they get other reports of it. I also got the number for the health department and will likely be calling them on Monday.
I hope everyone else’s new year is starting off better than ours did.
