The doctor gave me a jab to relax the stomach muscles and prescribed some medicine for me to take. I was diagnosed to have food poisoning, but that was also after what I told the doctor I think I had.
When the kids came home from school, my baby girl asked me if my tummy still hurts (kids remember amazingly well!) and my 2nd son quickly drew a sketch of me as a sickly stickmom.
I asked him to explain what the right hand X and without X meant. He told me "no medicine, your tummy hurts" (and that explains the (( )) sign). I thought that was rather amusing indeed, but I asked him why my throat had the (( )) as well, he said I had eaten something not meant to be eaten and my throat should have feel painful too.And after taking the medicine, referring to the below portion of the drawing, I'm well again, yay!
Look at the different expression on the faces, that really made me burst out laughing. And he thought I was laughing at his beautiful art instead.
The next 2 days were much relieved, whereby I can resume to my normal activities of being a chauffeur and other than that, nothing much. Came Friday, for unknown reasons, I seem to be having both gastric pain and tummy ache pain again. It was so awful that I had to curl up like a worm when touched and I can't even stand up. I went to see the doctor again, and diagnosed as having gastric, again after I told her what I think it was. I think I should stop seeing her from now on too.
Strangely enough, from the day one I was told that I was food poisoned, I didn't have any diarrhea or vomitting, right until Friday when I managed to purge and even force myself to throw up by stirring my throat with my finger. And that was when I felt much relief.
So, whatever it was, I swore I am never ever going to eat leftover (x3) night's food anymore. I felt like I was having symptoms similar to morning sickness too, and even my banker's boss thought so too. But my banker is very confident that there will be no such thing.
One embarassing moment should be that time when I asked the doctor if I would have eaten some kind of worm eggs and the eggs start to hatch and worms growing inside me. I thought I heard a very sarcastic laughter beneath her reply of no. Ish! Ain't I a proper educated person to have even thought of thinking such theory? Anyway, I just couldn't help it.

oh.. food kept in the fridge does not necessarily preserve it. Bacteria can still thrive. Only the freezer can prevent food from contamination. glad you are feeling better.. in time to eat all the yummy Raya goodies :D
Hope you're all better now! I know what you mean about curling up like a worm... I had it just also, the wind, it's awful, and that persistaltic feeling that's not over until you relieve yourself!
