Home-sick

Well isn't this just a pickel. Last year at this time my extended family was taking turns with the flu. First my youngest two got it and as soon as they werer diagnosed, so were my in-laws, they're grandparents. So we sent the sick ones off to commiserate with the g-ps. Right arounf the time that those folks all started feeling better, the older two boys and the missus all came down with it. No sense re-infecting the ones who had recovered, so we kept the little ones and the folks place. Next, the wife came down with the bug while caring for two sick boys, and as they recovered, she got worse. She eventually spent a couple of days in the hospital with pnuemonia, and then came home to spend a week in isolation. When at last she recovered, she commented that I had not come down with anything.
That was then and this is now. Wednesday afternoon I suddenly felt feverish and nauseous, I couldn't finish my lunch and eventually left early for home. When I got home I decided hit the sack early to feel better, but the wife insisted I have a bowl of tofu first.
Saw a doctor first thing yesterday morning who infromed me that I have a gastrointestinal virul infection and that I'm contagious. Treatment consists of no food and limited liquid intake (besides the regular I.V.)
So, to try and keep everyone else from feeling lousy, I am the one in isolation, and just to make matters fun, I can't eat anything. Luckily I have no appetite...
