14 pounds

That's how much weight I lost Wednesday night and yesterday morning.
No, I did not have anything amputated, I got some bug and explosively expelled everything from my digestive track.
That was an exceedingly painful and exhausting experience.
I'm not sure what it was. I hadn't eaten anything for over 10 hours so food poisoning is unlikely. I note that something like this has happened every year in December or January for the last three years.
Perhaps I'm allergic to the solstice.
In any event, if the hippies are right about high colonics and purging then I'm  just all kinds of healthy now.
I hope to be walking without a cane soon.

1 Good grief!  I had food poisoning (salmonella) a while back and only lost half that.

Rest and fluids and get well soon!

2 I've had that happen a couple of times. Throw up until the stomach is empty and then sit on the pot until everything else is gone. It's awful, but at least it passes quickly.

3 Back in January I had a case of food poisoning/stomach flu... I had what Steven describes, except I also had a fever AND I couldn't keep any fluids in me.  At around 3am, I was praying for death.  Around 6am, I thought my prayers were being answered.
