24 hour bug, mayhaps?

Tuesday night/ Wednesday-

Around 5:30 last night my stomach started to bother me a little bit. Around six I went and threw up. Around 10:00 I went to bed. By that point in time, my stomach was killing me. I threw up everything in my body, and then I had some sort of diarrhea, but I was pretty much peeing out my butt. I swear, my body wanted to expel every bit of food and liquid that was inside of me. So, my stomach pained me something awful, I tossed and turned and retched and threw up phlegm on and off until about 3 in the morning. Finally I got some fitful sleep. I say fitful because I woke up around seven and my whole body was hurting. Especially my back. So I lay there, not ready to get up yet, but unable to go back to sleep, tossing and turning in my uncomfortableness. Finally around 8:30 I got up and took a shower, hoping that running water would soothe me a little bit. Sure it did. For a very brief period of time. Sat out in the lobby for a couple hours, finding a sitting position was better than lying down. Threw up again (yeah, I was drinking water even though I knew the results). I feel like (I HOPE) the worst of it is over. I haven't felt completely awful for a few hours, but I did go ahead and email my professors and take off class for the rest of the day, just in case it makes a reappearance. 

I'm hoping for a better rest of the week, for sure.
