stomach flu...again - the bad and the good

i am very thankful that i have always been a healthy kind of person. granted - i do try and look after myself, but that doesn't guarantee against everything. so, it's been very frustrating these last three months since i've been back from Aus - i've never been as sick so many times in such a short space of time in my entire life as i have been in the last 3 months. yesterday i woke up in the middle of the night to find i had come down with the stomach flu again. that's the second time since jan. and i've also had the regular cold flu as well. man. it sucks. to feel so crappy. and let me tell you, when i get the stomach flu, i get it good. in all ways - if you know what i mean. fortunately, these bouts have only lasted a few days at the most. so, while i am complaining about my bad health, i am thankful at the same time that i have been blessed with a pretty healthy life. but man, it does suck when all you do is spew, poo and are bed ridden. on the plus side, i have a fiancee who doesn't mind sitting down and watching numerous episodes of friends with me when i can't do anything else. i love you matt. what a wonderful guy.
