White Dog loyally got up with me every single time I had to rush to the bathroom during the night and by morning we were both exhausted. But my body felt purged, like I was finally coming out of the nasty flu that knocked me for a loop the past couple of days. At breakfast, water and a bit of scone actually tasted ok and I was certainly ready for soup at lunch. "Woohoo, I am going to live!" was my cry and the White Dogs gathered around to nuzzle and congratulate me.
By afternoon I could actually discuss the menu for tomorrow's Birthday Feast (always held the weekend after my birthday) and put together a shopping/cooking schedule. Needless to say, I won't have a hand in the kitchen but I will (along with our usual fluffy white supervisors) be able to encourage and answer Steve's questions. I gave into temptation tonight to sample the Moroccan Date appetizers and found they were delicious. Quinn says that is a clear signal that I will be able to fully enjoy the meal tomorrow...I hope he is right.
I am so thankful for Steve and The White Dog Army for picking up my slack these past 48+ hours. And for taking such good care of me. I am grateful, too, for all of your healing energy and positive thoughts...your vibes provided the extra ooomph I needed to beat this bug. It is MY wish that all you and yours stay healthy and avoid the nasties that seem to be making the rounds.
And yes, during the night, Michael came up to tell us he was having "what Sue has."

So glad to hear you are doing better. Enjoy the celebration but be careful not to party too much:) And poor Michael - guess it was inevitable. Happy Birthday again.

I am glad you will be able to enjoy your party and that the bug seems to have run its course. Yay for Steve and all the white dogs or helping you through. Poor Michael I hope he is feeling better soon too. Hugs GJ xx
I sure am glad you are feeling more like normal. Once you've been sick normal sounds darn good!
So glad you are on the road to recovery! The flu is so nasty. :-(
Hope you're birthday celebration will be fun and have you up and back to feeling like yourself again! Sure hope Michael feels better real soon!
I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better. You gotta stay that way now.
Sounds like you are on the road to recovery WDA mom!!
And wanting a nibble is a sure sign!
Those 1st few bites after this kind of bug are pretty scary, huh? You never know if that urge to eat is a too soon kind of thing or if you're actually ready until you try. I can't wait to hear about the birthday feast! You're definitely ready :)
